Ludwigslust Palace

History

Ludwigslust Palace is a stately home or schloss in the town of Ludwigslust, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, northern Germany. It was built as a hunting lodge and rebuilt as a retreat from the ducal capital, Schwerin, and then became, from 1765 to 1837, the center of government. It was the joy of Prince Christian Ludwig, the heir of the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, hence the name Ludwigslust.
