Marienkirche, Gothic church tower in Wismar, Germany
The 80-meter-high tower stands as the remaining part of the former St. Mary's Church, constructed with red bricks in the Gothic architectural style.
Built in 1270 near the marketplace, the church expanded with two side halls in the 15th century before suffering severe damage during World War II.
The tower contains a bell ensemble of nine preserved bells that play different chorales according to the ecclesiastical calendar throughout the year.
The tower houses an exhibition about brick Gothic architecture, featuring a 3D film presentation explaining construction techniques from clay processing to masonry.
The church structure served as a filming location for the 1922 German Expressionist horror film Nosferatu, directed by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau.
