Deeper Into Neubrandenburg
A largely intact medieval city wall with four brick gates: Stargarder Tor, Treptower Tor, Friedländer Tor and Neues Tor. You can walk the entire circuit.
🕐 24 hours (gates are visible from outside at any time)
💡 Start at the Stargarder Tor and follow the wall anti-clockwise: the stretch past the Kulturpark is quieter and gives you the best view of the brickwork.
A 13th-century brick Gothic church, now used as a concert hall with striking acoustics and a spacious interior free of pews.
🕐 Mon–Fri 11:00–16:00, Sat 10:00–14:00, closed Sun and during events
