   Schwerin Castle "the Neuschwanstein of the North"
   
   In 973, the island was a fort for Polabian Slavs.
   
   In 1160, the Saxons conquered the region under Duke Henry the Lion, defeating the Slavic Chief Niklot. They founded the city Schwerin and built a new fort on the island.
   
   In 1167, the Saxon Duke returned the castle to the son of Niklot to rule as his vassal. The descendants of Nikelot and his son ruled the castle as Princes of Mecklenburg until 1918.
   
   The modern castle was built during the German Renaissance in the 16th Century. It was renovated in the 17th century during the Low Countries Renaissance and again during 19th century Romanticism.
