St. Georgen - viewing platform
WISMAR FROM ABOVE - with the elevator to the viewing platform in 35 m height
St. George's Church is one of the largest brick churches in northern and eastern Germany. Destroyed by bombing, the ruin was left to further decay until 1990. On January 25, 1990, a hurricane brought down the gable of the north transept. This event provided the impetus for the reconstruction of the church. In May 2010, the 20th anniversary of the reconstruction of St. George's Church was celebrated. With the viewing platform on St. Georgen, Wismar offers its vacationers and day visitors a new and impressive view of the old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as the harbor. The elevator to the viewing platform can be used daily during opening hours.
Admission to the church is free of charge.
Entrance fees to the viewing platform:
3.00 euros 2.00 euros reduced , children up to 6 years free admission 2.50 euros (for tour groups of 15 people or more).
