Schwerin Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Schwerin, Germany
Built from red brick, the cathedral extends 105 meters in length and reaches a height of 117.5 meters with its western tower in Gothic style.
The cathedral's construction started in 1260 after Bishop Berno relocated the diocese to Schwerin in 1167 following Heinrich der Löwe's conquest of Obotrite lands.
The interior features cross-ribbed and net vaults, with medieval wall paintings restored in 1988 and a Friedrich Ladegast organ installed between 1868 and 1871.
The cathedral opens its doors daily for visitors to explore the architectural details, climb the tower, and attend Lutheran religious services throughout the week.
The cathedral's transept design influenced other church constructions and remains the only medieval building standing in Schwerin's cityscape.
