Ratzeburg Attractions
From Lübeck there are motor-launch services up the river Wakenitz to the long Ratzeburger See. On an island in the lake is Ratzeburg, once the seat of the Dukes of Lauenburg.
At the north end of the old town, which is linked with the mainland by three causeways, stands the magnificent Cathedral (Dom; 12th-13th C.), which ranks after Lübeck Cathedral as one of the oldest Romanesque buildings in brick. Adjoining is the Stiftsgebäude (13th C.), with wall paintings in the cloister.
In the Domhof are the District Museum (local history, uniforms and weapons) and the Andreas-Paul-Weber-Haus, with lithographs by the artist of that name (1893-1980). In Barlachplatz is the Ernst Barlach Museum (sculpture, drawings, woodcuts).
