Church of St. Marien Ueckermünde
Are you a fan of historic buildings.
Our Marienkirche dates back to the 18th century and has been painstakingly renovated in recent years. Many old paintings and murals, combined with one of the numerous concerts, will make your visit a unique experience. The steeple of St. Mary's Church can be seen from miles away before entering Ueckermünde. St. Mary's Church has stood on this site since 1766. Part of the council stalls from a previous building dating back to 1593 have been preserved. The coats of arms and house marks of the council members give us an idea of their duties today. Also worth seeing in the church are the completely painted wooden ceiling and the three beautiful chandeliers. Several large oil paintings depict personalities such as the reformers Luther and Calvin as well as some Ueckermünde pastors. Like the paintings, the baptismal font also dates from the 17th century. The altar was renovated in 1961. In recent years, a lot of work has been carried out on the church building, which is important for the long-term preservation of this sacred building. The church tower was built in 1866 and renovated in the 1990s. It contains five bells, which could be recast thanks to a one-off fundraising campaign, as they were unfortunately defective. The roof was completely renewed. Inside, the valuable painted wooden ceiling was first saved and then restored a few years later at great expense. The façade was extensively renovated in 2013. The church now shines again in ochre and white, the original color scheme from 1766. Take a look at St. Mary's Church, attend a church service or one of the many concerts that take place here, especially in summer.
