Together with the spires of St. Jacob’s, St. Mary’s, St. Peter’s and St. Giles’, the Cathedral towers make up the en-semble of seven spires in Lübeck’s Old Town.

As a place of peace and quiet, it invites visitors to take time for reflection, under the triumphal rood of Bernt Notke or at the altar of lights. The triumphal rood, the rood screen, the side altars, sculptures of Mary and further art treasures have been preserved and they attract many visitors. The musical life in the Cathedral is also rich and diverse. Organ notes from the Marcussen organ or the Italian Baroque organ, choirs and the hearty singing of the congregation fill the impressive sound space.
