This brick building from the 14th century has suffered immense
damage from fire and collapse over the years. After a serious fire a
stucco ceiling was installed in 1726, and gradually the whole interior
of the church was remodelled in the Baroque style. The organ built by
Stralsund native Christian Kindt in 1790 is particularly grand. Other
items include a baptismal font with a wood lid (1736), a decorated
pulpit (1743) and the main altar built in 1776.
Extraordinary: A medieval penance rock served as a memorial slab in the 18th century. Surroundings: Rügen-Park Gingst |
