Monuments and Sights

The atonement stone of Zepelin stands in memory of a murder at this place in the forest of Darnow.

The atonement stone commemorates a double murder committed in 1623. When the mayor of Demmin, Alexander von Harten, took a rest at this spot, he and also his coachman were treacherously murdered by his servant out of greed for money. The stone served in the meantime as a stepping stone in the manor house Wolken. In 1891 the stone was put back in its place. It is located in a wooded area on the Bützow-Schwaan road. Behind the railroad line a path leads into the forest. At a forest intersection about 150 m to the right.

Parish Church of St. Mary

Open today
Markt, 18273 Güstrow

The Güstrow parish church stands on the market square in the immediate vicinity of the town hall. The first documented mention of the parish church dates back to 1308. After the fire in the center of Güstrow in 1503, which also destroyed the church, it was rebuilt and consecrated in 1508. When you enter the parish church, the first thing you see is the completely restored Jan Borman altar from 1522. This work of art, the ornate pulpit, the impressive organ and a small Barlach angel are already reasons enough to take a look around. But there is one very special highlight that you should not miss: 196 steps lead up to the 41 meter high observation deck of the highest building in Güstrow. A magnificent view over the city and Heidberge, the lakes and the meadows leaves many tourists amazed.
