Lübeck Cathedral
Lübeck Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Lübeck's Old City, Germany
Lübeck Cathedral is a large brick structure in the Old City built entirely from red tiles with two towers rising above the roofline. Inside, the space contains medieval artworks and an elaborate carved screen that divides the church into sections.
The cathedral was founded after Lübeck became a bishop's seat in the 12th century and was expanded over many generations. After destruction during wartime raids in the 1940s, it was gradually rebuilt and today functions fully again.
The cathedral has been a gathering place for worship in this Hanseatic city for centuries and defines the skyline with its red brick form. Visitors can admire medieval carvings and artworks inside that show the skill of local craftspeople from that era.
Visitors can enter the building freely and explore the interior at no cost, with concerts and services held regularly throughout the week. The Old City location means the cathedral is easy to reach on foot from most parts of town.
An impressive artwork from the 15th century by sculptor Bernt Notke shows the craftsmanship and skill of that era. This carved cross survived the wartime damage and was restored to its original location inside.
