St. Nicolai Gützkow town church
The town church of St.
Nikolai is located in Gützkow in Western Pomerania. It has a neo-Gothic interior. The fieldstone church in Gützkow was first mentioned in a document in 1241. However, today's church square was a religious site even earlier. There was a pagan temple here, which had to make way for a church building consecrated by Bishop Otto von Bamberg in 1128. The town church was badly damaged in a fire in the 18th century and was rebuilt and restored in the following decades. The church has a neo-Gothic interior. There are stained glass windows in the choir, which depict Martin Luther, Otto von Bamberg, the blessing Christ, Nicholas of Myra and the apostles Peter and Paul, among others.
Stadtkirche St. Nicolai Gützkow - history since the Middle Ages
The town church of St. Nicolai in Gützkow is one of the most historic sacred buildings in Western Pomerania. The fieldstone church was first mentioned in a document in 1241, but the religious significance of today's church square goes back even further. As early as 1128, Bishop Otto von Bamberg had a consecrated church built on this site, where a pagan temple had previously stood. The site can therefore look back on almost nine centuries of continuous church history.
Fire, reconstruction and neo-Gothic furnishingsIn the 18th century, the town church was severely damaged by fire and rebuilt and restored in the following decades. Today, it boasts a neo-Gothic interior, which is particularly impressive in the choir. There are colorful stained glass windows with depictions of Martin Luther, Bishop Otto von Bamberg, the blessing Christ, Nicholas of Myra and the apostles Peter and Paul.
