St. Katharinen, Gothic church in Neustadt, Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany

The St. Katharinen church features extensive terracotta sculptures and decorative brick patterns across its exterior walls, extending 73 meters in length and 29 meters in width.

Construction of the brick church began after 1381 under architect Hinrich Brunsberg from Szczecin, replacing a previous fieldstone church that stood until 1395.

The church houses a medieval library containing 1550 volumes, including scholarly works, incunabula, and a music collection of 350 manuscripts.

The tower offers guided tours, and daily organ concerts take place at noon, allowing visitors to experience both architectural and musical elements.

The body of Swedish King Gustav Adolf lay in state at St. Katharinen from December 11 to 19, 1632, awaiting the arrival of Queen Marie Eleonore.
