UNESCO Sites

GERMANY

Germany’s cultural heritage has received a significant boost with the addition in 2024 of two new UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Residence Ensemble Schwerin and the Saxon settlements of the Hernhuter Brüdergemeine (Moravian Church). With an impressive total of 54 UNESCO World Heritage sites, Germany holds the position of the third-highest country of UNESCO sites worldwide.


The Residence Ensemble Schwerin is a testament to the flourishing court culture of the 19th century and features a harmonious blend of well-preserved architecture and natural beauty. Surrounded by picturesque lakes, the grand palace is the centerpiece of the ensemble which also includes a court theater, a museum, and various administrative buildings. This marks the third UNESCO site in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, alongside the old towns of Stralsund and Wismar.
