Dorf Mecklenburg village church - early Gothic brick building with a unique tower

The village church of Dorf Mecklenburg is one of the most remarkable religious buildings in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg. Built in the 14th century, the church presents itself as a simple early Gothic brick building - an architectural style that can also often be found on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, for example in Wismar, Rostock or Stralsund. Particularly striking is the square tower with its Romanesque diamond helmet, which is unique in this form in the whole of Mecklenburg.

Organic farm Tacke with farm store

📍 Dorf Mecklenburg

Not far from the Baltic Sea, a stiff breeze always in our faces, we can let our gaze wander over our fields as far as Wismar... Here we live and work according to organic guidelines. In our farm store you will find organic products directly from the farm and from the region. We work ecologically, in harmony with nature. Outside is our home. In wind and weather. We were born with this in mind. We treat our environment in such a way that it remains usable and nourishing for future generations. As a team, we look after the land, the crops, the cattle, the geese, the vegetables and the bees. The circular economy is particularly important to us. Everything here should work together. The geese and cattle provide the nursery and the fields with valuable manure, they graze on the pastures and ensure biodiversity. Our honeybees help with pollination and secure yields, but at the same time they also make us aware of the need to create a diverse range of crops. This is helped not only by a diverse crop rotation, but also by the flowering meadow, which can be sponsored. In this way, we offer direct contact with nature. We also provide insights into organic farming through educational farm activities. With farm education, we offer young and old experiences on the farm at regular intervals. Information on dates can be found on our homepage. From here, from the farm, for you. And naturally, originally and as unaltered as possible. That is the standard we set for our products in the farm store. Come by and visit our farm store in Dorf Mecklenburg. We look forward to seeing you!
