Medieval Market City Festival Fürstenwalde

Medieval Times Under the Gothic Cathedral

Fürstenwalde/Spree is the seat of the historical Diocese of Lebus and home to St. Mary's Cathedral, one of Brandenburg's most significant Gothic hall churches. The Domplatz in front of it provides the perfect setting for a medieval market.

July 3–5, 2026 — Three Days of Medieval Merriment

From Friday, July 3rd to Sunday, July 5th, 2026, the market will take place as part of the Fürstenwalde City Festival. The market is part of a larger festival weekend with stages in the city centre and a community program in the old town.

The Scenery — St. Mary's Cathedral
