Guided Story

Imagine standing on a spot that was once surrounded by the walls of a magnificent Gothic church. Take a look around – can you feel the whispers of history in the air? On sunny days, you'll hear the laughter of children playing across the open green spaces. Turn to the south, and you'll see the majestic Klosterkirche zum Heiligen Kreuz, another testament to the past. In spring, when the trees are in bloom, the square becomes a vibrant place full of colors and fragrances. Find a bench, close your eyes, and imagine the church bells that once filled the air. Even though the church is no longer here, this place remains a living testament to Rostock's rich history.
