    Tips

    Every medieval town has a church as its center, here St. Mary.

      The three-aisled Protestant St. Mary's Church is located at the highest point in the city next to the market square. The origins of the building are still Romanesque. At its core, it is an elongated, rectangular field stone building from the 13th century, which has been changed many times so that the Gothic building elements predominate.
      After the city fire of 1709, changes were made to the building in the Baroque style. The parish church received a new four-story west tower, which was structured with pilasters. A special feature is the tower dome: the square floor plan of the tower forms an eight-sided lantern, from which you have a good view over the city and the Elbe floodplain.
      There are neo-Gothic and Romanesque extensions from 1860 to 1865 on the north and south sides. The entire choir area and the apse with its two hexagonal side towers were also added in the neo-Gothic style by 1865.
      Today, the former choir and altar room houses a glass installation that dates from the 1980s and is used as a community center and winter church in place of the unheated main house.
