Furstenhof Palace Wismar

However, the Palace is perhaps best known for what lies within its walls. Numerous friezes and other works of art fill the halls and rooms of the palace, many of them depicting important historical events and stories throughout history. Two of the most infamous depict the Trojan War in all its glory, and the parable of the Prodigal Son with lavish illustrations and masterful use of color. Though it’s an important part of history itself, the Furstenhof Palace remains dedicated to the idea of preserving history for future generations; today, it acts as the archive for the district courts, as well as the city.
