Nearby, discover the grandeur of St. Mary’s Church, a masterpiece of red brick Gothic architecture dating back to 1398.

Gain insights into its intricate mechanism and historical significance.
Afterward, enjoy leisure time for personal exploration or shopping before indulging in a taste of the local Schnapps at a traditional pub. Conclude your enriching day with a leisurely walk to the riverside jetty, where you’ll embark on a scenic Warnow River cruise back to Warnemuende. Savor refreshments onboard, choosing from a local German beer or a sparkling "Champagne" to complement your journey through Rostock’s storied past and vibrant present.
