Güstrow - Cathedral Dom

In the southwest of Güstrow stands the Cathedral of SS. Mary, John the Evangelist and Cecilia (1226-1335, with later additions). Among the most notable features in the interior are the Late Gothic high altar, with panel paintings of scenes from Christ's Passion (c. 1500), the "Güstrower Domapostel" of the Lübeck master C. Berg (c. 1530), a crucifix of around 1370, the epitaph of Duke Ulrich III and his wife and the genealogy of the house of Mecklenburg (by P. Brandin, 1585-99). In the north hall is a bronze sculpture by Barlach, "The Floating Man" (originally 1926-27; melted down 1944; re-cast 1952).

In the Domplatz are a number of handsome Renaissance houses of the 16th and 17th centuries (Nos. 14, 15/16, 18).
