Güstrow Cathedral

The cathedral features a massive brick exterior structure with a prominent tower reaching 130 feet into the sky above the city center.

Built in the 13th century as a collegiate church, the structure transformed into a Lutheran place of worship following the Protestant Reformation in 1568.

The cathedral houses Der Schwebende sculpture and contains significant artworks including the collection of apostle figures created by medieval artist Claus Berg.

The cathedral maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can explore the interior, crypts, and lateral naves containing historical sarcophagi.

The building contains burial sites of numerous members from the House of Mecklenburg, with the last noble interment taking place in 1756.
