Putbus Castle Church

Putbus · Rügen · 54.3502° N, 13.4681° E
Putbus Castle Church

The castle church in Putbus Park Until 1840, Putbus was part of the parish of Vilmnitz.

In this year, the parish acquired its own parish registers and its own churchyard was consecrated. Putbus became an independent parish. Over time, the need to create a separate church building grew. Initially, the theater was to be converted into a church. However, as this plan met with resistance from the residents, the Kursalon in the park was converted into a church in 1891/92 - the upper galleries were removed and their windows moved inwards, and the open arcades to the dance hall were fitted with windows. The result was a three-aisled church. A church tower was erected in place of the northern extension, while the southern extension retained its shape. The church was consecrated on Reformation Day in 1892 and the bells rang for the first time on July 12, 1893. The castle church is impressively different from the brick churches typical of the island. It is flooded with light, with large arched windows opening onto the park. It forms an impressive ensemble with the neoclassical buildings in the park and in the adjacent streets.

Putbus Castle Church - a special place of worship in the castle park

The Putbus Castle Church on the Baltic Sea island of Rügen has an unusual history: until 1840, Putbus belonged to the parish of Vilmnitz. When the town finally became an independent parish, the desire arose for its own church building. The impetus for the current building came from the Kursalon in the castle park, which was completely redesigned as a church in 1891 and 1892. A church tower was built in place of the northern extension; the church was solemnly consecrated on Reformation Day 1892.

Classical ensemble instead of typical island brick church

What sets the Schlosskirche Putbus apart from the numerous brick churches on Rügen and the rest of the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is its light-flooded atmosphere. Large arched windows open up the three-nave church to the surrounding park. Together with the neoclassical buildings in the adjacent streets and in the castle park, it forms a harmonious architectural ensemble that is unparalleled in the Baltic Sea region.

Putbus Castle Park

Putbus Castle Park

Putbus

Although Putbus Castle, once the stately home of the Princes of Putbus, was razed to the ground in 1962, the beautiful castle park is still a reminder of this magnificent time. Magnolias and sequoias adorn the English-style garden. The park was laid out in 1804 by the founder of the town, Wilhelm Malte I zu Putbus, originally in the French style. It was later developed in the style of an English landscape park. The classicist palace around which the park was laid out was unfortunately demolished in the 1960s. The orangery, the stables, the mausoleum, the parish church and the castle church as well as the monkey and bird house are still preserved. Then as now, Putbus is not only famous for its castle and circus, but also for its scenic surroundings. It is not surprising that even Caspar David Friedrich visited the Putbus region. He incorporated the impressions he gained into his paintings "A View of Putbus" and "Landscape with Rainbow", for example.
