Kavelstorf Motorway Church
The Kavelsdorf Motorway Church is the only motorway church in northern Germany.
The Kavelsdorf Motorway Church is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. It can be reached in five minutes via the Kavelstorf exit on the A 19, as well as via the A 20.

Construction was begun by Westphalian settlers using brick, primarily fieldstone, and served both as a place of worship and as a shelter. It is an impressive structure with well-balanced proportions.
Kavelstorf Motorway Church – a medieval church on the North German Motorway
The Kavelstorf Motorway Church in Kavelstorf is a unique example of medieval architecture and, at the same time, an unusual rest stop for travelers in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. As the only highway church in northern Germany, it offers travelers on their way to the Baltic Sea coast—such as to Rostock, Stralsund, Rügen, or Fischland-Darß-Zingst—a quiet opportunity for reflection and contemplation.
Fieldstone and Brick – A 13th-Century Architectural History
The church’s origins date back to 1225 or earlier. It was erected by Westphalian settlers, who constructed the building using fieldstone and brick. Designed as both a sacred and a protective structure, the church remains impressive and well-proportioned to this day—a quiet monument to the early settlement history of Mecklenburg.
