St. Nikolai cathedral | A massive brick construction with elements of Gothic and Baroque styling. The 98 m. high tower (nicknamed "slender Nikolaus") is a landmark in the city. The three churches in the city were first mentioned in 1280 together with their inaugural names in the records. |

St. Marien Church | The church has three naves and no choir. It was built towards the end of the 14th. century and ultimately decorated. The original painting was restored between 1977 and 1984. The Renaissance pulpit dating from the 16th. century is worth seeing as are the headstones and epitaphs dating from the 14.- 18th. century and a side relief in the St Annes Chapel. |

|
St. Jakobi Church | The Jakobi Church was built in two phases. A choirless vaulted church with two naves was built first in 1250. The choir and the principal nave were added in the 14th. century. It has a Roman font, gravestones and well preserved Gothic wall art. |
