Guided Story
Can you feel the cool breeze wafting through the tall windows? Look up to the impressive vaults of St. Mary's Church. You're standing before one of the finest examples of Northern German Brick Gothic architecture. Fascinatingly, this church wasn't just a place of prayer; it was a refuge during stormy times. Imagine people seeking shelter here during the Hanseatic era. If you look closely, you might notice traces of past restorations on the walls, whispering stories of centuries gone by. Behind you, through the portal, lies the market square. A place that has brought people together for centuries, just like this church.
