Marienkirche, Waren

The Marienkirche features a square three-nave tower with turrets and stands as a prime example of north German brick Gothic architecture.

Dating from the 12th century, this religious structure reflects the architectural trends and building methods of the medieval Hanseatic League period.

The Marienkirche contains notable interior elements including a 16th-century carved pulpit and several preserved medieval frescos on its walls.

Visitors can reach the church by following the main roads through Waren's center, where the building's tall structure serves as a reference point.

The church earned the local nickname 'Fat Mary' due to its massive brick construction, which required an extraordinary number of red bricks.
