St. Georgen Church Wismar

"The youngest of the three main churches is the St. Georgen Church, once a place of worship for craftsmen and tradespeople. Not much has been passed on about its predecessor building, which was already on this square.

St. George's Church was badly damaged in an air raid in April 1945. Left to decay for decades, the north gable collapsed on a stormy night in 1990. After that, extensive renovation work began, which was completed in May 2010.

A visitor platform has been located on the 36 meter high tower of the church since 2014: up to 30 guests can enjoy a wonderful view of the city and the surrounding area at any time of the year. - In good weather, the view extends as far as the island of Poel.
The "ascent" is uncomplicated: a glass elevator brings everyone safely through the church tower to their destination and back down to the "bottom of the facts". "

The memorial day of the very popular George - he is, among other things, the patron saint of the English kingdom - in the calendar of saints is on April 23rd.
