A visit in the adjoining soap making workshop of his father Friedrich, with authentic rooms from the time of king Frederick the Great, as well as in the picture gallery of the Pomeranian Regional Museum, are only two of the many opportunities to follow in the painter´s tracks.

St. Nikolai, the cathedral where Caspar David Friedrich's baptism took place, belongs to the most impressive sacred buildings of Northern Germany. If the visibility is high, it may feel like you are able to touch the islands Rügen and Usedom. The church was first mentioned in a document in the year 1280. In 1456, the university's year of foundation, the church St. Nikolai was consecrated to become a cathedral. The cathedral received its current Romantic-New Gothic interior between 1824 and 1833 by the works of the painter and architect Gottlieb Giese, a student of the famous German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel.

Those who wish to explore the geological past and 14,000 years of history, culture and arts of this holiday region, just have to plan o visit to the Pomeranian Regional Museum.
