Parchim

Parchim, the capital of the Ludwigslust-Parchim district has a unique vibe to it. While quite modern for the most part, the old town area still preserves the distinct architecture of Renaissance and Medieval eras. Stately Gothic structures made of timber continue to attract a steady stream of visitors. The town hall itself is a historic relic, for it has been standing tall since the 14th Century. Another impressive landmark is the St Mary's Church, an impressive brick structure that also provides tours to the steeple, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Parchim. The best way to explore this town is through guided tours which basically covers all the important landmarks and provides great understanding of the town's history and culture.
