St. Catherine's Church

The red brick structure features tall spires and large windows characteristic of northern German ecclesiastical architecture from the medieval period.

Founded on January 17, 1301, the church began as part of a Franciscan monastery dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria.

The interior holds numerous art pieces, including a reproduction of Saint George and the Dragon and Tintoretto's Resurrection of Lazarus.

The church now functions as a museum and exhibition hall, offering guided tours and educational programs about medieval architecture and art.

The exterior walls display modern clinker brick sculptures created by twentieth-century artists Ernst Barlach and Gerhard Marcks.
