Mellenthin Church

The fieldstone building was erected in 1319 as a chapel and expanded with brick starting in 1338.

The tower was added later. The pulpit dates from 1650, and the altar from 1755. The church’s interior is simple but features rich paintings.

Mellenthin Church – A Fieldstone Structure with Centuries of History

The Mellenthin Church is one of the most remarkable medieval religious buildings on the Baltic Sea island of Usedom in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The fieldstone structure was built in 1319, initially as a simple chapel. Starting in 1338, it was expanded with brick, which gave the building its current basic character. The striking tower was added in a later phase of construction and has defined the townscape of Mellenthin ever since.

Simple architecture with rich paintings and historic furnishings

Inside the church, simplicity and artistic expression come together in a unique way. The furnishings are understated but are characterized by rich paintings that lend the space a distinctive warmth. Particularly worth seeing are the historic pulpit from 1650 and the altar from 1755—both bear witness to the church’s long history of use spanning several centuries.

Mellenthin on Usedom—A Destination Between the Baltic Coast and Nature

Mellenthin is located in the heart of the island of Usedom, far from the typical hustle and bustle of the coastal resort towns. A visit to the church can easily be combined with a trip to the nearby Mellenthin Castle or an exploration of the island’s landscape. Usedom is easily accessible from cities such as Greifswald and Stralsund and offers a variety of cultural and historical experiences in addition to beach vacations.
