Güstrow Cathedral is a Brick Gothic church in Güstrow, Germany, designed by Philipp Brandin and initially completed in 1335, making it the city's oldest extant building. Though built as a collegiate church rather than an actual cathedral, it stands as Güstrow's largest church and is constructed entirely of brick in the characteristic style of northern German Gothic architecture. The interior houses significant sculptural works, including Ernst Barlach's *Der Schwebende* ("The Floating One"), a haunting war memorial, and the renowned Güstrow Apostles, a set of apostle figures by Claus Berg. The building is recognized as an architectural heritage monument in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
