Lübeck Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Lübeck's Old City, Germany
The cathedral extends 131 meters in length and reaches 115 meters in height, featuring two towers constructed entirely from red bricks in Romanesque style.
Henry the Lion established the cathedral's foundation in 1173, marking the beginning of construction after Lübeck received its designation as a bishop's seat in 1160.
The cathedral houses a 17-meter triumphal cross created by Bernt Notke in 1477, along with medieval polyptychs and an elaborate rood screen.
Visitors can access the cathedral without entrance fees and participate in regular organ concerts, church services, and guided tours throughout the week.
During the 1942 air raids, the cathedral experienced complete destruction, leading to a restoration process that concluded with the Paradise vestibule reconstruction in 1982.
