The Fürstenhof in Wismar is an impressive testimony to the architecture of two eras. The late Gothic "Old House" and the Renaissance "New House" together form a harmonious unit.
The rich limestone and terracotta decoration, the figurative friezes and the elaborately designed portals bear witness to the importance of this building as the residence of Mecklenburg dukes. After Swedish rule, the Fürstenhof served as the seat of the highest Swedish court in northern Germany. Today, the building houses the Wismar district court and is a popular destination for architecture enthusiasts.
