A
Nikolaikirche
Through the Rathaus' eastern walkway you'll come to the main portal of the 1270 Nikolaikirche, which was modelled on Lübeck's Marienkirche and is filled with art treasures. The main altar (1708), designed by the baroque master Andreas Schlüter, shows the eye of God flanked by cherubs and capped by a depiction of the Last Supper. Also worth a closer look are the high altar (1470), 6.7m wide and 4.2m tall, showing Jesus' entire life, and, behind the altar, a 1394-built (but no longer operational) astronomical clock.

Marienkirche
The Neuer Markt is dominated by the massive 14th-century Marienkirche, a superb example of north German redbrick construction. You can climb the steep wooden steps up the tower (adult/child €4/2) for a sweeping view of the town, with its lovely red-tiled roofs, and Rügen Island.

Ozeaneum
In a stylised arctic-white wavelike building that leaps out from the surrounding redbrick warehouses, the state-of-the-art Ozeaneum takes you into an underwater world of creatures from the Baltic and North Seas and the Atlantic Ocean up to the polar latitudes.
