The St. Catherine's Church in Lensahn, a late Gothic brick church from the 15th century, impresses with its striking tower with a baroque dome. Particularly worth seeing is the richly decorated bronze baptismal font, which dates from 1641. The church also houses a historic organ, which offers a particularly attractive sound and is regularly used for concerts.

The old lighthouse has defied the sometimes harsh coastal climate for many decades. It stands on a coastal promontory halfway from Fehmarn to Travemünde and serves as a navigation light for ships in the Bay of Mecklenburg and Lübeck. Source: https://www.ostsee.de/dahme/leuchtturm.php
