Churches in the Region - Discover small village churches or large, restored structures from the era of the Knights of St.
John. You can feel the powerful aura of these ancient buildings, and for a moment, time seems to stand still. - The half-timbered church in Blankenförde - The half-timbered church in Blankenförde-Kakeldütt... In 1702, a new half-timbered church was built after the church on the outskirts of the village had burned down completely. On the southern long wall of the church is an ornate portal carved from oak. The altar, crafted in the Flemish Baroque style, is decorated in white and gold, as is the pulpit. Also worth seeing is the oil painting to the right of the altar, which was formerly the centerpiece of a 16th-century altar. The names of the donors from that time are immortalized on the church’s colorful stained-glass windows, as well as on the pewter candlesticks, the pewter baptismal font, and the communion chalice.Blankenförde-Kakeldütt Traces of Mesolithic settlements indicate very early habitation in the area around Blankenförde. Blankenförde itself was first mentioned in 1256 as “Blankenvort.” Judging by the name, it was an early Germanic settlement. It is reasonable to interpret “Blankenvort” as “place at a white / clear ford.” The name of the village Kakeldütt, first mentioned in a document in 1342, also refers to its proximity to water. However, in this case, the root of the word lies in the Old Slavic “hoholu,” which means “whirlpool” or “eddy” and points to a Slavic settlement. Both places have always been farming villages. Blankenförde came into the possession of the Dargun Monastery in 1256 and was purchased by the Mirow Commandery of the Order of St. John in 1359. After the secularization of the commandery, it became part of the Mirow district. Kakeldütt was donated to the Knights of St. John in Mirow in 1342 by Princes Nicolaus III and Bernhard von Werle.
The Half-Timbered Church of Blankenförde in Roggentin – History Since 1702
The Blankenförde Church near Roggentin is one of the quiet gems in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s church landscape. After the original church on the outskirts of the village burned down completely, a new half-timbered church was built in 1702. Since then, it has been a defining feature of the small village of Blankenförde-Kakeldütt, which was first mentioned in a document as early as 1256 and is thus one of the oldest settlements in the region.
Baroque altar, oil paintings, and medieval art treasures
Inside the church are remarkable pieces of furnishings: an oak-carved portal on the southern long wall, an altar in the Flemish Baroque style, and a pulpit—both finished in white and gold. An oil painting to the right of the altar, which was once the centerpiece of a 16th-century altar, deserves special attention. Pewter candlesticks, a pewter baptismal font, and a communion chalice bear the names of the donors from that time—as do the painted stained-glass windows.
The Knights of St. John and Dargun Monastery – Blankenförde in a Historical Context
The history of the town is closely linked to the Mirow Commandery of the Order of St. John and Dargun Abbey—two significant institutions that have also left their mark elsewhere in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, for example around Rostock and Stralsund. Blankenförde came into the possession of Dargun Abbey in 1256 before being acquired by the Mirow Commandery of the Order of St. John in 1359. The neighboring village of Kakeldütt, whose name derives from the Old Slavic word for “whirl,” was gifted to the Knights of St. John in 1342—a reference to the Slavic history of this region.
