The "Dom" is a Brick Gothic Lutheran church, the largest church in the German city of Güstrow. Historically it has been built as a collegiate church. It has never been a cathedral. Initially completed in 1335, the church is the oldest extant building in Güstrow.^[1] It houses the sculpture Der Schwebende ("The Floating One"), a war memorial created by Ernst Barlach.^[2]
