The Church of St. John the Evangelist was built for a Franciscan monastery at the beginning of the 14th century. After the Reformation, the church continued to serve as a Protestant church. During the Napoleonic Wars, it was later transformed into a food store. The church was saved from further decay by a renovation in 1929/30.

The Cathedral of St. James the Apostle was founded in the 13th century but obtained its Gothic brick architecture in the 14th and 15th centuries. From 1534 to 1945, the church belonged to the Pomeranian Lutheran community. Partially destroyed during the Second World War, the church was rebuilt in the 1970s and became a cathedral in 1972.
Saint-Adalbert Church is a neo-Gothic church built between 1906 and 1909. Used by Protestant as "Bugenhagenkirche" before the war, the church became Catholic after its reconstruction in 1948, following destruction due to air raids.
The church of St. John was built in the 13th century as a chapel. From 1408 the construction of the tower and the nave began. In 1892/93 a neo-gothic tower helmet was put on and the tower was raised to a height of 99 metres. The furnishings include a late Gothic choir stall from the Augustinian church, three 17th century tombstones, which were brought to one of the chapels in the choir gallery.
