One can only imagine and ponder in awe of the time when the castle was home to the ducal family and Cecilie lived there. Her unusual beauty and the setting made the princiess fairy tales all come to real life. As Viktoria Luise said when she witnessed Cecilie's arrival at the Neues Palais following the engagement announcement to her brother, "...she looked like a fairy tale princess all draped in pink with a pink fur hat and muff". I am sure the townspeople of Schwerin had many enjoyable sites seeing Cecilie make her ways around the castle grounds.
