Damshagen church
● Damshagen
The Damshagen church is a brick building from the 14th century with remarkable architectural details and historic chapels. An important testimony to the history of Klützer Winkel.
St. Thomas Church is one of the old churches from the time of the German mission and settlement of the Klützer Winkel. The brick building was constructed in three sections at the beginning of the 14th century. The entire outer walls of the nave were built in Wendish bond. The single-nave church building with the externally buttressed choir with a 5/8 end was remodeled several times both inside and out. The Gothic windows on the outside were modernized. Parts of the original zigzag frieze on the nave have been preserved. Chapels were added to the north side of the nave. One serves as a burial chapel, the other, originally the staircase to the patronal stalls, is now used as a mortuary.
