Alt Bukow Church

The Protestant Church is a historic landmark in Alt Bukow.

The single-nave Gothic brick church dates back to the 15th century. The massive square tower stands on the west side; it is as wide as the nave. The east window was created around 1960 by Lothar Mannewitz and depicts the risen Christ.

Gothic Brick Church in Alt Bukow

The church in Alt Bukow is one of the most distinctive religious buildings in rural Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The historic church building is located in the small village of Alt Bukow, not far from the Baltic Sea coast between Rostock and Wismar. The single-nave Gothic brick church was built in the 15th century and continues to shape the village’s appearance to this day.

Distinctive West Tower and Medieval Architecture

Particularly striking is the massive square tower on the west side of the church. It is as wide as the entire nave—an unusual and impressive feature in North German brick Gothic architecture. This design gives the church a squat, fortified appearance, as is occasionally found in the region between Stralsund and Wismar.

East Window by Lothar Mannewitz—Art from the 1960s

Inside the church is a remarkable work of art: The east window was designed around 1960 by the artist Lothar Mannewitz and depicts the risen Christ. It bridges the building’s medieval architecture with an example of modern stained glass from the postwar period in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
