St. Mary's Church Lübeck

The central nave of St Mary's Church rises to 38.5 meters, featuring the tallest brick vault ceiling in the entire world.

Construction of this Lutheran church occurred between 1265 and 1351, establishing architectural standards for 70 other churches across the Baltic region.

The church features restored medieval artifacts including the Darsow Madonna from 1420 and multiple reconstructed altarpieces within its Gothic interior.

Visitors need to purchase admission tickets to enter the church, except during regular religious services and scheduled worship times.

The church walls contain a mechanical bell system with 37 bells in the south tower, which switched to computer control in 2008.
