Neustrelitz

Neustrelitz is a town in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, founded in 1733 by Duke Adolphus Frederick III as the new residence of the dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Laid out as a baroque planned town with streets radiating from a central market square, it remained the capital of Mecklenburg-Strelitz until the state merged with Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1934.
