St. Anna Catholic Church, Schwerin
The Catholic Provost Church of St.
Anna is located in the city center of Schwerin. The building blends in with the magnificent facades of the houses on Schlossstraße. It was built in the 18th century as the first Catholic church in Mecklenburg following the Reformation. The church is dedicated to St. Anne, the mother of Mary. Services and concerts are held there. The vast majority of churches in Mecklenburg have been Protestant since the Reformation. Construction of St. Anna on Schloßstraße in the Neoclassical style began in 1791. The church was consecrated four years later. The church is dedicated to St. Anna, the mother of Mary. Of the once-rich Neoclassical furnishings, only the pulpit remains today. The wooden “Anna Selbdritt” group dates from the Late Gothic period. The granite baptismal font was crafted at the Schwerin grinding mill and was a gift from the ruling duke. The tabernacle, cross, and a bronze relief are works of modern church art from the 1980s. The church windows depict various saints and Nils Stensen, whose work in Schwerin is also specially honored through additional bronze reliefs inside the church and on its exterior walls. St. Anna possesses a significant collection of books and writings from the past 400 years, some of which are displayed in exhibitions.

The Neoclassical building blends harmoniously into the historic facades of Schloßstraße in the heart of Schwerin.

Equestrian monument to Frederick Francis II in Schwerin Palace Gardens
● Schwerin
The equestrian statue of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin stands opposite the palace on a square in the palace garden. Surrounded by flowers, rose bushes and the romantic arcades, the grounds are a highlight of the Schwerin Palace Gardens. A monument to the Grand Duke After the death of the popular Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II - the builder of the palace in Schwerin - his son commissioned the construction of a monumental statue. The object was financed by donations. It is considered to be the only historical equestrian statue in the whole of Mecklenburg. An eventful history The work by the Mecklenburg sculptor Ludwig Brunow was ceremoniously unveiled in 1893 - in the presence of high-ranking state guests such as Emperor Wilhelm II and Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, as well as all the nobility of the Mecklenburg court. Inspired by the equestrian statues of Roman emperors and the Prussian Elector in Berlin, it was designed according to the typical, mostly military-influenced taste of the late 19th century. The figures of the Grand Duke and his horse stand on a marble plinth more than 4 meters high. The ruler's virtues The plinth is surrounded by allegories of the 4 virtues of rulers: Strength, Justice, Wisdom and Faith. Two commemorative plaques show events from Frederick Francis II's reign - the construction of the new university building in Rostock and the Grand Duke's entry into Schwerin in 1871. The monument was lucky to survive two wars and two dictatorships. It escaped being melted down for war purposes, the iconoclasm after the end of the war and being scrapped.
