Marienkirche

The Marienkirche in Lübeck, Germany, is a stunning example of brick Gothic architecture. Built in the 13th century, the church stands almost 90 metres tall and is a spectacular sight both by day and by night. Inside, the walls are adorned with beautiful stone stained glass windows and invaluable artwork, as well as offering stunning acoustics. The church markets itself as a must-see experience, showcasing exhibits and concerts year-round. Climb the 140 steps to the top of the church tower and you will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding area. The Marienkirche also offers short tours of its history and features, all of which are a must for anyone interested in architecture or history. Take time to explore the Koberg, an old trading area just outside the churches, and admire the winding cobblestone paths lined with old merchant homes.
