Saint Mary's Church stands on the New Market in Stralsund, a Hanseatic town on Germany's Baltic coast, and a small admission is charged for visitors, with an extra fee for climbing the tower. The tower's viewing platform, reached by a long and steep climb of about 350 steps, the last part on wooden ladders, gives views over the old town, the harbour, the Strelasund strait and the island of Rugen.
Saint Nicholas Church stands on the Old Market in Stralsund, beside the Gothic Town Hall, and a small admission is charged for visitors. It is the oldest of Stralsund's three great parish churches and the town council's church, and it holds some of the richest medieval church furnishings on the Baltic coast. A passage through the Town Hall leads directly to the church entrance.
