Why visit
Ludwigslust is the former royal residential town of Mecklenburg, known for its heritage and above all for Ludwigslust Palace — the reason a small town 40 kilometres south of Schwerin still carries the mark of a capital.
Origins and history
In 1724 Prince Ludwig, son of the Duke of Mecklenburg, decided to build a hunting lodge near a hamlet called Klenow; it became his favourite residence and he named it Ludwigslust, «Ludwig's pleasure». In 1765 the town became the capital of the duchy in place of Schwerin, a status it held until 1837, when the court returned to Schwerin. In 1945 the SS established the Wöbbelin camp near the town.
