St. Marien Church



St Mary's Church

Astronomical Clock

Building started mid 13th century, expanded in the 15th century in the style of the French cathedral style and the Marienkirche in Lübeck. Features include the astronomical clock built in 1472.


Building started mid 13th century, but in 1398 the nearly finished building collapsed. After that a cross-shaped Basilica emerged, built in the style of the French cathedral style and the Marienkirche in Lübeck. Its tower is Baroque. The art treasures of the Marienkirche are worth seeing including the astronomical clock built in 1472, the bronze baptismal font consecrated in 1290, the Rochus altar from around 1530 and the Baroque organ.
