St. Nicholas Cathedral is a late Gothic three-nave church with a transept and a long choir at the polygonal end. The present building was probably built in 1423. It was completed around the middle of the 15th century.

The church of St. Mary was first mentioned in 1283 as a Romanesque basilica. At the end of the 14th century, the building was given two towers and from 1420 onwards, a church with three Gothic naves was built in its place. The church has an interesting astronomical clock that was created in the 16th century and has only been functional since 1977.
The present building of St. Stephen's Church was built after 1380 on a former pre-1188 church. It was not until 1714 that the north tower was given a baroque dome after the original roof had been destroyed in a city fire some 100 years earlier. Remains of a 14th century painting can be seen around a large hole in the nave vault. They depict four angels with the instruments of Christ's suffering as well as scriptures.
St. Catherine's Church, first mentioned in 1217, was endowed with its late Gothic brick during a reconstruction in the 1380s. Restorations were carried out on the exterior in 1864-65 and on the interior in 1842 and 1911-12. The restoration, which was carried out from 1970 to 1992, restored the room's decoration in late Gothic style. The restoration of the roofs, tower and exterior cladding was completed in 2004.
