The cathedral is also known as Dom St. Maria, St. Johannes Evangelista und St. Cäcilia, or simply Dom zu Güstrow. A typical example of northern German Romantic architecture, with some hints of Gothic influence. Originally built in the 13th century, it stood empty after the reformation in the early 16th century. It was then taken over by the Protestant Church, and after some restauration reopened as a Lutheran Church in 1568. The reigning family of Mecklenburg had several members buried in the crypts underneath, as well as inside the church. Some stone sarcophagi are located in side naves of the church.
The building is about 21 feet long, 90 feet wide and the massive tower rises 130 feet high. In 1756 the last noble of the House of Mecklenburg was laid to rest in the church.
