The Marienkirche is Rostock's Evangelical Lutheran main church and a major work of North German brick Gothic. In 1232, an early Gothic predecessor church was mentioned for the first time; the construction of today's three-aisled basilica began around 1290 and was completed around the mid-15th century. The tower is now 86.32 meters high.
