In the neighbouring towns
you can also find a lot of places of interest and a great
variety of cultural activities. The following sections will
introduce to you some museums and exhibitions worth a visit:
St. Nicholas´
and the town hall of Stralsund
The Hanseatic town of
Stralsund lies about 30 km north-west of Greifswald. The ancient
town centre is by itself already a museum: Many buildings are
listed for their architectural or historical importance.
In Stralsund there are two important museums:
- the
Cultural-Historical Museum (Kulturhistorisches Museum) which
is located in the former Dominican monastery at
Mönchstraße and in an ancient warehouse at
Böttgerstraße.
- the German
Oceanographic Museum (Deutsches Meeresmuseum) which is also
located in the former Dominican monastery.
The former Franciscan
monastery (Johanniskloster) housing today the municipal archives
is also worth seeing. Many parts of the original monastery
buildings have been preserved.
