Factual error: On the left-hand side of Lucy's front door, you can see a blue and white shield. This is the trademark of the Dutch Heritage organisation, which protects monuments such as old city buildings. These signs did not exist in the 19th Century. (00:48:00)
Factual error: When the ship comes into the harbour of Wismar, you can see the text "Vrijmoed Wittkampf" right above the doors of the warehouses across the harbour. These names are old distillers of the city of Schiedam, proof that the shots are taken in Holland and not in Wismar. (01:06:00)
Factual error: The carriage brought back the ill Jonathan to Lucy's home in Wisper. But in the road before her door, you can see a modern manhole cover. The film is set in the 19th Century. At that time there was no sewer. (01:13:15)
Factual error: The Captain of the ship writes in his logs that they travelled the Caspian Sea, the Caspian sea however is land-locked.
Factual error: The town in which a large part of the movie is shot is supposed to be Wismar, Germany. However the architecture of the town shows it's in The Netherlands. Delft, to be exact.
Suggested correction: Delft was used as a location, but the town square is not all that different from what an early modern North German city would look like. You can spot it if you know the place, but that applies to so many movies. In itself this is not a mistake, unless there were something that really betrayed it.
