Bergen, Germany
(Near Sassnitz)
Some 25km/15mi southwest of Sassnitz on B 96 is Bergen, an important road junction. St Mary's Church, modeled on Lübeck Cathedral, is an outstanding example of North German brick-built Gothic architecture. Originally Romanesque (begun about 1180), it was rebuilt in the 14th century as a Gothic hall-church. It has a remarkable cycle of 13th century wall paintings of Old and New Testament scenes in the choir and transept. Also of interest is the grave-slab of Abbess Elizabeth (1473)
