Stadtkirche St. Jakob und St. Dionysius

The Stadtkirche St. Jakob und St. Dionysius stands on a central hill near the market square, featuring a long brick structure with three naves of equal height.

Construction of this religious edifice began in 1206 with the Romanesque nave, followed by western extensions in 1220 and Gothic choir additions in the 15th century.

The church interior contains a bronze baptismal font from 1450 depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ, carried by small angel figures.

The church maintains regular services and belongs to the Wismar provostry, with an organ installed in 1980 featuring 28 registers on the northern gallery.

The southern portal displays ornate brick capitals and restored archivolts, representing early examples of brick church architecture in Northwest Mecklenburg.
