The exhibitions in the "Kunst am alten Hafen" gallery change twice a year - at the beginning of April and on October 2. Works by regionally renowned painters and photographers from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are on display, but amateur painters and contributions from the fields of media art and graphic design also find their place here.

Other attractions in Güstrow
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.
