Grace.bar
📍 Güstrow
Anmut.bar - an enjoyable place to pause for a moment near the cathedral in a historic Art Nouveau building. Just as the building was part of a graceful social design, the Anmut.bar follows the claim of being a place for profound, artistic and creative expression. Anmut.bar and a bite of happiness. If you think of cocktails and espresso when you hear the name Anmut.Bar, you're not wrong, but you haven't yet grasped its full splendor. The Anmut.bar is more. It's a fantastic place to have breakfast or an aperitivo with friends while enjoying a tarte flambée or a delicious home-style pizza. Twice a week there is the living room cinema, where special films are shown in a charming atmosphere. Whether it's the monthly living room theater or a living room concert, private lessons in Tango Argentino or a book from the bookshelf, every guest will find something to suit them. But above all, the Anmut.bar is a beautiful Art Nouveau villa where you can relax with a cup of cappuccino and a home-baked slice of cake, for example. That's all you really need to be happy.

Visitors are encouraged to become active themselves using the materials. Opening hours: Jan.-Dec.: Mon-Thu 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
St. Mary's parish church
📍 Güstrow
Güstrow's parish church is located on the market square in the immediate vicinity of the town hall. The first documented mention of the parish church dates back to 1308. After the fire in Güstrow city center in 1503, which also destroyed the church, it was rebuilt and consecrated in 1508. When you enter the parish church, the first thing you see is the fully restored Jan Borman altar from 1522. This work of art, the ornate pulpit, the impressive organ and a small Barlach angel are reasons enough to take a look around. But there is one very special highlight that you should definitely not miss: 196 steps up to the 41-metre-high viewing platform of Güstrow's tallest building. Many tourists are amazed by the magnificent view over the town and Heidberge, the lakes and the meadows. The first documented mention of the parish church dates back to 1308. After the fire in Güstrow town centre in 1503, which also destroyed the church, it was rebuilt and consecrated in 1508. According to plans by architect Georg Daniel, it was extensively rebuilt between 1880 and 1883 into a three-nave hall church with a straight east end, three gabled roofs over the naves and a side hall with a west tower. The large winged altar from 1522, a work from the workshop of the Brussels carver Jan Borman, is one of the church's outstanding artistic treasures. The panels of the altar were painted by the Brussels artist Bernaert van Orley. The triumphal cross group (1516), the Madonna in the aureole, the sandstone pulpit (1583) by the Antwerp master Rudolf Stockmann, the council stalls with valuable inlay work (1599) by Michel Meyer from Rostock and numerous Renaissance epitaphs are among the valuable furnishings. The organ with 41 stops was built by Paul Schmidt in 1764/1765. The magnificent organ façade and the rococo baroque-style gallery also date from this period. The oak figure of the mourning Mary with the body of Christ, a Pietá from the end of the 15th century, is the oldest work of art in the church, but modern art is also represented in the imposing brick church. Since 1979, the "Angel of Hope" (1933), a terracotta relief by Ernst Barlach, has been located on the right pillar of the chancel. It is not easy to climb up the tower to the baroque spire. But the effort is rewarded with a sweeping view of the Mecklenburg countryside. St. Mary's parish church is certified as "Partially barrier-free for people with walking disabilities and partially barrier-free for people with hearing disabilities" according to Travel for All. Detailed information can be found under Travel for All.

ROESNEREI - Stories made of paper
📍 Güstrow
ROESNEREI presents stories made of paper in its store studio! In my store studio in Güstrow, the ROESNEREI, stories are created from paper - or to be more precise, from the most diverse papers you can imagine: Old and new, used and unused, precious and banal, strange and everyday. In the papier-mâché technique, these materials are transformed into figures and episodes that I encounter in life or that occupy me. Sometimes this leads to bizarre stories in the course of which special personalities, such as stag ladies and gentlemen, are born - but spring ladies, table parties, boat trips or even lucky swings can also be found in the ROESNEREI. In addition, a selection from the collage series "Signs from Paradise" - small works of art that tell stories from paradise ... And not forgetting wonderful necklaces with medallions (also made of paper, of course) from the "GLÜCKSSTÜCKE" series - each bead is individually hand-formed ... Paper is my passion and I love working with this wonderful material more than anything. Opening hours: Jan.-Dec.: Wed-Fri 13-17, Sat 11-14
Güstrow Castle
📍 Güstrow
On the edge of Güstrow's old town, one of the most important Renaissance castles in northern Europe surprises visitors with its southern charm. Magnificent stucco ceilings from the time of its construction have been preserved. The castle is currently undergoing extensive renovation work. The castle museum is therefore not open to the public. The historic residential town of Güstrow boasts one of the most important castles of the late Renaissance. The original medieval princely castle was destroyed by fire in 1557, but just one year later Duke Ulrich of Mecklenburg initiated a comprehensive reconstruction and rebuilding of his residence. Additional extensions and alterations planned by architects of different origins resulted in a synthesis of Italian, French, Dutch and German architectural ideas - unique for the region and the time! The castle complex was last extended under Duke Gustav Adolph, who had the gatehouse and castle bridge built in 1670. After the Güstrow ducal line died out at the end of the 17th century and the town became the secondary residence of the dukes of Schwerin, the castle fell on hard times and slowly fell into disrepair. Changing uses followed until a large-scale restoration in 1963 restored the interior to its former glory, allowing it to be used as a museum from 1972. The 16th-century pleasure garden, which was painstakingly restored between 2011 and 2014, is well worth a visit. Since then, fragrant flowers and the enchanted pergola have invited visitors to take relaxing strolls against the impressive backdrop of the palace. Restoration work The castle is currently being extensively renovated and repaired. The collections and the interior of the castle are not open to the public during the construction work. The garden The reconstructed garden is open to the public and invites visitors to stroll and linger with its lavender beds, hornbeam arbors and moat.
