Lübeck
St. Catherine’s church is the only one of the four former monastery churches in Lübeck which has been preserved.
St. Catherine’s was built around 1300 for the Franciscan order – as a church for a mendicant order with no church spire. This light brick edifice was once the Franciscans’ headquarters for the entire Baltic region and in spite of its relatively simple architecture, the brickwork of black-green glazed and red unglazed bricks is highly impressive. There are numerous features to be discovered in the interior such as the two-storied choir and the masterpiece “The Raising of Lazarus” by the Venetian painter Jacopo Tintoretto (1576). St. Catherine’s was extensively refurbished and restored between 2011 and 2016.
