Kröpelin Church
The Kröpelin Church is an imposing brick building in the center of town.
A wooden church was first built in Kröpelin in 1186. It was not until between the 13th and 15th centuries that an imposing brick building was erected in the center of town. The main part of the tower and the chapel to the south date from the late Gothic period of the 15th century. Tours are available by appointment at the rectory.
Kröpelin Church – History in the Heart of the Town
The Kröpelin Church is one of the most striking historic buildings in the center of Kröpelin, a small town in the Rostock district of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. A wooden church stood on this site as early as 1186—an early testament to the region’s long history of settlement. Over the course of the 13th to 15th centuries, it evolved into a stately brick structure, typical of many churches along the southern Baltic Sea coast between Wismar and Stralsund.
Late Gothic architecture from the 15th century
Particularly worth seeing are the main section of the tower and the chapel building to the south, both of which are attributed to the Late Gothic style of the 15th century. The brick building thus joins a series of significant North German church structures that continue to shape the cityscapes of many towns in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to this day. A tour is possible by prior appointment at the rectory.
Kröpelin as a destination in the Baltic Sea region
Kröpelin is conveniently located between Rostock and the Baltic Sea resort of Bad Doberan and is a great stop on a vacation along the Mecklenburg Baltic Sea coast. Those exploring the coastal region around Fischland-Darß-Zingst or the area around Rostock will find a worthwhile piece of regional history in Kröpelin and its church.

Kröpelin "retractable" mill
● Kröpelin
The landmark of the town of Kröpelin - the "retractable" mill Anyone driving through Kröpelin from Kühlungsborn or Rerik will not believe their eyes. The mill, visible from the eastern edge of the town, suddenly disappears and reappears a short time later. Construction work on the Galerie-Holländer-Mühle began in 1904 and it was put into operation in 1906. It has a 2-storey solid brick substructure. The first floor is square and made of stone, while the central mill body with eight sides is also built of solid stone and covered with shingles. The wings of this Dutch mill - also known as a cap mill - are attached to the cap so that it can be turned into the wind. The wind turbine of the mill and parts of the equipment are still preserved. The mill was even still in operation until 1952. After it was decommissioned, it was then used as a warehouse for agricultural businesses and for the school as a "polytechnic" center. In 1986, work began on converting the mill into a restaurant. However, this conversion work came to a standstill due to the changes brought about by the fall of communism. In 2006, the "Kröpeliner Mühle" e.V. association was founded with the aim of renovating the mill in order to preserve it as a Kröpelin landmark and to organize and hold cultural events around the mill. The mill is owned by the town. Extensive renovation work began in 2012. The renovation work was completed in 2013 and the mill was reopened on December 20.
