Market Square Wismar Marktplatz Marienkirchturm
Market Place The centre of the old town is the huge Market Place, the largest in Germany (10,000 square meters), surrounded by elegant buildings with styles ranging from 14th-century North German Gothic to 19th-century Romanesque revival. Wismar has the largest market place in North Germany. This appeal above all the proud patrician houses with their decorated facades. St Mary The 82m high tower church of St Mary (Marienkirche) is the only remainder of the original Brick Gothic edifice, built in the first half of the 13th. It suffered heavy damage in World War II, and was deliberately destroyed in 1960 under the East German government. The only remnant of the St. Maria Church was merely its 82 metre high tower.
