Schwerin Cathedral has stood since 1270 as a singular testament to Brick Gothic architecture in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. As the region's only true cathedral, it captivates with its unique transept and intricately designed ambulatory. Part of the Residence Ensemble Schwerin, the cathedral houses the main organ of the Protestant Schwerin Cathedral.
