St. Marien in Strausberg: impressive brick architecture and history on Straussee lake
If you are traveling in Märkisch-Oderland, you should not miss St. Marien in Strausberg. The parish church is one of the defining buildings of Strausberg’s old town and is just a few steps away from the town wall, Großer Straße and the banks of Straussee lake. A visit is particularly beautiful if you combine your stroll through the town with a walk along the water.
St. Mary’s was built in the 13th century as a three-nave basilica in the transition from Romanesque to Gothic. On entering, you will immediately notice the clear, calm spatial effect created by the solid fieldstone and brick and the historic building form. If you are interested in architecture and regional history, it is worth taking the time to look at the details and visual axes in the interior.
