The Ratzeburg Cathedral is an outstanding example of Romanesque brick architecture in Northern Germany.
The church, built from 1160 under Bishop Evermod, is located at the highest point of the northern tip of the old town island of Ratzeburg. It houses the remains of St. Ansverus, who was killed in the Wendish uprising in 1066. The cathedral was endowed by Henry the Lion as the bishop's church of the Diocese of Ratzeburg. Therefore, it is one of the four so-called Lion Cathedrals, which also include those in Schwerin, Lübeck, and Braunschweig. A replica of the Braunschweig Lion has stood in the cathedral courtyard of Ratzeburg since 1881.
