St. Paul's Church is considered a prime example of neo-Gothic architecture. Its location on a hill in Schwerin's old town is outstanding, but so is its interior. Since its consecration in 1869, it has survived turbulent times virtually unchanged. Stained glass windows, tracery, and a mighty frieze organ are not the only testaments to 19th-century church architecture. The church is Protestant. Tours are possible by appointment. The tower and turrets of St. Paul's Church reach for the sky in delicate, filigree brick tracery. It was built in 1869 under the significant influence of the Mecklenburg "church prince" Theodor Kliefoth, who ensured that the construction strictly adhered to the so-called "Eisenach Regulations." St. Paul's Church is considered a well-planned model example of a 19th-century neo-Gothic church, and is full of formal Protestant symbolism and references to salvation history, even down to the smallest detail.

Kliefoth left his fingerprints on his theological understanding of salvation history in this church building, particularly in the magnificent stained glass windows.

Enthroned in its elevated position directly above the Rostock-Hamburg railway line,

it posed enormous structural challenges at the time and was built from the foundation to the last tracery point using the most modern methods of the time. The organ by Friedrich Friese III is also impressive. Experts say his organs were created for Romantic compositions and have a powerful, yet warm sound. The organ is still frequently played today at concerts and is an integral part of the church music tradition that has been cultivated in St. Paul's Church
since its consecration.
The church's wonderful acoustics make it a popular venue for events.
