Nikolaikirche, Stralsund.
You think this church interior is too colourful to be true? Wrong. This is a honest restoration dating 1991 of the medieval frescoes (found at the end of the 19th century behind layers of plaster) in the gothic Nikolaikirche of Stralsund. In those days churches weren't dark and brown. The gothic style was an invention to bring light into churches. And people just loved colour. The church construction started 1270 and ended 1360, the crucifix seen here, placed above the highaltar, dates from 1360.

Frescoes in the Marienkirche, Bergen, Island of Rügen.
The Marienkirche in Bergen, the capital of the island of Rügen, is completely covered with frescoes, discovered behind layers of plaster at the end of the 19th century. The partly abstract and psychedelical murals were restored then, but now they need restoration again. The church seeks donations. The Marienkirche is a great example of the Backsteingotik, the brick architecture of the Gothic period, typical of the regions around the Baltic Sea.
