Ludwigslust town church
● Ludwigslust
The "temple-like" town church in Ludwigslust is absolutely unusual by Mecklenburg standards. Not only the colossal altarpiece by two Baroque artists and the magnificent gallery for high nobility are well worth seeing. The church can be visited. The town church was built in 1770 as the court church for Ludwigslust Palace and was designed by court architect Johann Joachim Busch. Together with the palace square and the palace, it forms the largest baroque ensemble in Mecklenburg. In addition to the north-south orientation of the building, the Ludwigslust town church has numerous other special features. Compared to the huge altarpiece "Annunciation of the Shepherds" by the two court painters Dietrich Findorf and Johann Heinrich Suhrland, the bright interior with its design is almost plain. With a painted area of around 350 m², it is considered the largest altarpiece in Europe. The princely box is just as magnificent. Most of the decorations, ceiling rosettes and ornaments come from the Ludwigslust carton factory - in other words, they are made from the famous Ludwigslust papier-mâché. In the central aisle is the sarcophagus of Duke Friedrich, known as the Pious, who commissioned the church in Ludwigslust. The stone sarcophagus was made from a boulder weighing several tons at the grinding mill in Schwerin. Since the late 19th century, there has also been a frieze organ in Ludwigslust. The town church is Protestant and services are held regularly. The church is open to visitors from Tuesdays to Sundays and information material on the history of the church is available on site. Guided tours of the church are available on request.
