One of the largest and one of the most beautiful brick Gothic buildings. The tower, which is 117.5 meters high, can be climbed over 220 steps and offers a beautiful panoramic view. The 50 centimeters make it the tallest tower in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It was completed in 1893, much later than the cathedral nave. The beginnings of church building go back to 1154.

Almost exactly a year has passed and we visited the cathedral again.
The restoration work has made great progress. The Cornelius window has now also been restored. We're still working …

The cathedral in the brick Gothic style is definitely worth seeing. The tower can be climbed. After 220 steps you have a wonderful panoramic view of the city and castle.
