Ludwigslust Palace.
Introduction
Started as a hunting lodge in 1724, Ludwigslust was made capital of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin by Duke Friederich in 1765. By 1776, the new palace was completed, in an amalgam of Baroque and Neoclassical styles. It remained a ducal residence until 1945, and is now houses collections of the Schwerin State Museum.
