Katharinenkirche, Gothic church in Stralsund, Germany
The Katharinenkirche features a three-nave hall structure with octagonal pillars supporting cross-ribbed vaults and three decorated entrance portals along its 73-meter length.
The construction of this Dominican monastery church began in the 1250s, with the choir completed in 1287 and the entire building finished by 1317.
The church transformed from a Dominican monastery to an arsenal after the 1525 Reformation, and now houses the German Maritime Museum within its medieval walls.
The building stands as part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Stralsund's historic center, offering visitors access to both religious architecture and maritime exhibits.
The structure required 24,000 bricks borrowed from the city of Stralsund in 1291 specifically for constructing its main nave.
