Güstrow Cathedral, © Christoph Nahr
Churches, barrier-free

Construction of the cathedral began in 1226 and was not completed until 1335 with the consecration of the altar. The transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic period can be clearly seen at Güstrow Cathedral. The cruciform ground plan and the elongated choir room point to the Romanesque concept. The massive west tower is 44 meters high.

The interior of the cathedral is significant. Works of art from the 15th and 16th centuries as well as "Der Schwebende" by Ernst Barlach can be admired here. The square surrounding the cathedral, the Domfreiheit, was renovated in 1995. With the burgher buildings bordering it, the square conveys the flair of a medieval ensemble in a special way.

    Parish Church of St. Mary

    • Open today
    • Markt, 18273 Güstrow

    The Güstrow parish church stands on the market square in the immediate vicinity of the town hall. The first documented mention of the parish church dates back to 1308. After the fire in the center of Güstrow in 1503, which also destroyed the church, it was rebuilt and consecrated in 1508. When you enter the parish church, the first thing you see is the completely restored Jan Borman altar from 1522. This work of art, the ornate pulpit, the impressive organ and a small Barlach angel are already reasons enough to take a look around. But there is one very special highlight that you should not miss: 196 steps lead up to the 41 meter high observation deck of the highest building in Güstrow. A magnificent view over the city and Heidberge, the lakes and the meadows leaves many tourists amazed.
