The monumental Marienkirche examples of brick Gothic in northern Germany. The original hall church of 1260 was converted to a basilica in 1290 following the example of the Marienkirche in Lübeck. The church was only completed in the mid-15th century. The multiple changes in floor plans during the long building period gave it somewhat odd proportions – the nave seems too short for the 31-m (102-foot) ceiling.
The church has several art works of note, including a bronze baptismal font (1290), a huge astrological clock (designed in 1472 but altered in 1643) that has a calendar up to 2017, and a magnificent Baroque organ (1769). The church is often used for concerts. It is open from May to September, Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm, and Sunday from 11:15 am to 5 pm. From October to April, it is open Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 12:15 pm and 2 to 4 pm, but Sunday only from 11:15 am to noon.
