Parish church of St. Marien Parchim - late Romanesque meets early Gothic

The parish church of St. Marien in Parchim is one of the most striking sacred buildings in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The impressive brick building on a fieldstone base was built in the transition from late Romanesque to early Gothic and was consecrated in 1278. It thus joins the ranks of important church architecture that can also be found in cities such as Wismar, Stralsund and Greifswald. The church is part of the European Route of Brick Gothic Architecture.

Valuable interior decoration from several centuries

The interior of St. Mary's has remarkable furnishings: a bronze baptismal font from 1365, a carved winged altar with 24 saints from the 15th century, a Renaissance pulpit from 1601 and an organ from 1670/80 bear witness to centuries of living history. Jewish gravestones from the 13th and 14th centuries, which have been preserved in connection with the church, are also particularly noteworthy.
