About
St.-Jakobi-Kirche Lübeck stands as a testament to brick Gothic architecture, dating back to its opening in 1227. This magnificent three-naved hall church, constructed in 1334, has long served as a haven for seafarers navigating the tumultuous waters since the Middle Ages. Remarkably undamaged through World War II, it offers a glimpse into history with features like the Brombsen chapel, which houses a breathtaking altarpiece from around 1519. A poignant lifeboat on display honors the tragic sinking of the four-masted barque 'Pamir' in 1957. Visitors can explore its many intricacies without the hassle of crowds and admire the stunning architecture that offers endless photo opportunities. Rated a solid 4.5 on Google, this church is not only an architectural gem but also a richly historical journey worth experiencing.

Eine wunderschöne Kirche in Lübeck in der sich ein Besuch definitiv lohnt! Wir kamen in den Genuss auch die Orgel spielen zu hören, da offensichtlich der Orgelsommer momentan war und in den verschiedenen Kirchen gespielt wurde.

Die Orgelkonzerte des Orgelsommers sind erlebenswert! Tolle Einführung zu Beginn des Konzertes. Zwei Orgeln-ein Konzert!

Tolle Innenausstattung, kostenloser Eintritt, kleiner Spielplatz im Vorhof Great interior design, free admission, small playground in the courtyard
