Lübeck Cathedral
Lübecker Dom
Lübeck's oldest church, founded in 1173 by Henry the Lion. Its twin towers echo the nearby St. Mary's Church.
Located at the southern end of the Old Town, Lübeck Cathedral is the city's earliest large brick church. It evolved from Romanesque into a Gothic hall church. Its highlight is the monumental triumphal cross sculpture by Bernt Notke, along with many medieval tombstones and altars. Entry is free, though donations are welcome, and the atmosphere is peaceful with few visitors. A pleasant path beside the mill pond is nearby, and you can walk to the Natural History Museum on the way.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–18:00 (shorter in winter)
