ATTRACTIONS

The city hall was built between 1270 and 1290 as a two floor double-gabled house with a vaulted cellar, which was also used as a market in the Middle Ages. St. Peter’s Church was built in the middle of the 14th century. The first reference to a church on this site is in 1252, which is thought to be the predecessor of the current building. The triple-nave basilica is in Brick Gothic, a building style typical of the Hanseatic port cities of northern Germany. St. Mary’s Church was designated in 1265 as the main parish church and since the protestant reformation in 1531 it`s the house of the Evangelical-Lutheran Congregation.
