Güstrow is the seventh largest town in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

The name Güstrow comes from the Polabian Guščerov and it means: lizard place (although I didn’t see a single lizard!)

This is the post office…

… and a beautiful old letter box where I sent my postcards.

However, Güstrow is especially known for its  renaissance castle.

Who wouldn’t want to have such a garden?

I was especially impressed by the ceiling in this room. There were so many interesting details…

In the vicinity of the castle, there is quite a big lake where you can rent a rowing boat for 6 euros per hour. From our little boat, we could see some fine houses.

And we really enjoyed our walk around the lake. It was a perfect day trip!
