St. Helena and St. Andreas Church with bell tower, Ludwigslust Palace Park

Highlight • Religious Site

The Roman Catholic Church of St. Helena and Andreas was commissioned by Friedrich Franz I in 1803 as the first neo-Gothic church building and one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in Mecklenburg.

St. Helena and Andreas is located in the castle park on an artificially created island, while the bell tower was built on the mainland across the moat.

A highlight already from the outside: On closer inspection, the church front is reminiscent of a city gate from that time, while the rest of the building with its tapering shape resembles a ship.

Inside, too, St. Helena and Andreas are particularly beautiful. Not only the various relief figures, but rather real craftsmanship from the 15th century are particularly impressive: The high altar is an original carving from the Doberan Minster, while the choir windows show images of the apostles, which were painted in the 15th century for the Hamburg Cathedral, which was demolished in 1805 are. St. Helena and Andreas therefore make a good contribution to ensuring that old art can live on and can be admired.

The most amazing cascade on the canal

When Friedrich the Pious decided to relocate his residence from Schwerin to his father's remote hunting lodge "Ludwigs-Lust", he first had the canal system built (1756-1760): 28 km long from the Stör to the Rögnitz, at 14 m Gradient.

The masterpiece of the cascades was created directly in front of the former hunting lodge. From there the canal with fountains ("water jumps") and waterfalls goes through the forest and uses the former paternal hunting path that led to the hunting star of the "14 avenues" as a route. Since then, the canal system has shaped the unique character of the castle park.

The stone bridge was built in 1780 by court architect J.J.Busch in place of an older wooden bridge. In 1980 a falling beech tree destroyed the bridge and jewelry vase; However, through persistent citizen engagement, both could be restored. The ramparts on both sides of the canal up to the fountain called "Mönch" were renewed in 2014 with lawn benches, staircases and rows of trees, as has been handed down on old engravings.

The artificial grotto in Schlosspark Ludwigslust was erected in 1788 to plans by court architect Johann Joachim Busch, using the local turf stone typical of the Griese region, whose porous structure emphasizes the decaying character of the walls The inner retreat gave this part of the park a sentimental touch, as it illustrated the transience of all earthly existence, but the grotto was not only a place of contemplation, it also had a very practical use as an ice cellar and later in mushroom growing. Today, the artificial ruin is a popular motif and background of many wedding photos and atmospheric backdrop for open-air events. " - auf-nach-mv.de/reiseziele/a-grotte-im-schlosspark-ludwigslust
