Barth - St Mary's Church

(Local Name: Marienkirche) The Barth Marienkirche, a massive brick-built Gothic church, first appears in the records in 1314; the interior was restored by F. A. Stüler in 1856. The tower has been a well known seamark for centuries. The church has an important collection of material on church history, including one of the last copies of the Low German Bibles printed in Barth (1588).
