Monuments and Sights

The approx. 40 m² room in the oldest residential building of the Güstrow housing association bears its name due to a painted wooden beam ceiling, which was found during modernization work in 2004.

The special value of the painted wooden beam ceiling for North German Renaissance art is based on the preserved extent of 19 portrait medallions in contemporary dress and striking detail. It is hard to find anything comparable in the contemporaneous secular architecture of northern Germany.
The opening of the Renaissance Room at Mühlenstraße 17 has enriched cultural life in Güstrow since 2006. Five to six times a year, concerts, readings or comedy performances take place here. The room has space for 40 people - and that's exactly what makes the atmosphere so special. Artists and guests are very close to each other here.

Tours are possible to a limited extent during the opening hours of the Güstrow consumer center.

Güstrow Cathedral

  • Domplatz, 18273 Güstrow

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.

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.
