Bad Doberan Minster
Doberaner Münster
A masterpiece of North German brick Gothic architecture, formerly a Cistercian abbey church, with exceptionally well-preserved medieval interiors.
Bad Doberan Minster was built between 1295 and 1368 as the abbey church of a Cistercian monastery. It is also the burial place of the Dukes of Mecklenburg. Its interior preserves many original medieval features, including the high altar, the sacrament house, the rood altar and the choir stalls. It is one of the most completely preserved medieval church interiors in Germany. Admission is about EUR 5, and guided tours are available. The minster is about 20 minutes by car from Rostock and can be combined with a visit on the Molli steam railway.
