Kreuzkirche, Gothic brick church in Lübeck, Germany

The Kreuzkirche stands on one of the highest points of Lübeck's historical old town island, featuring tall vaulted ceilings and wooden beams.

Built during the 13th century as a Roman basilica, the Kreuzkirche underwent transformation into a Gothic cathedral using locally sourced bricks.

The church contains an astronomical clock, the Fredenhagen altar, and numerous windows depicting mortality themes through detailed artistic representations.

Access to Kreuzkirche costs 4 euros for adults and 2 euros for reduced tickets, with special accommodations available for visitors needing assistance.

The building houses the largest carillon in northern Germany, which visitors can hear during regular musical performances throughout the year.
