Katharinenkirche, Gothic brick church in Salzwedel, Germany.
The Katharinenkirche stands as a three-aisled brick basilica with stepped gables, double lights, and a copper-covered tower spire in northern Salzwedel.
Construction of the church began in 1280 as a parish church for Neustadt, with extensions including a taller choir added in the early 14th century.
Three medieval stained glass windows from 1467 remain in the church, depicting scenes from Genesis and the life of Christ.
Visitors can explore the church between May and October, with daily openings from morning until afternoon, including extended Saturday hours.
The church houses a rare 1474 altarpiece featuring an uncommon representation of a unicorn seeking refuge in Mary's lap.
