The church of St. Mary was first mentioned in 1308. At the beginning of the 16th century, it was destroyed three times by city fires or was badly affected, but was always rebuilt. In 1780 it was given the baroque tower helmet, in 1880-1883 it was rebuilt and given its current shape as a three-nave hall church.
The Güstrow Cathedral dates back to the beginning of the 13th century. Started in Romanesque and then completed in Gothic style, the cathedral was consecrated in 1335. In 1568 the cathedral became a Protestant court church and burial place for the Güstrower Princely House until 1695.
The construction of the Gertrude chapel dates back to the turn between the 14th and the 15th century. Originally, it was a half-timbered structure with brick masonry. The Gothic chapel was rebuilt in the 1930s.
