High Altar in Guestrower Dom

The main winged altar in the Dom zu Güstrow dates from 1495 and came from the workshop of the Hamburg master carver Hinrik Bornemann. When fully open, the central scene of the altar is the crucifixion of Christ surrounded by two rows of sculptures of the apostle and saints.
