Landow Cultural and Pilgrimage Church
The church in Landow on the Kubitzer Bodden—a cultural and pilgrimage church.
The Landow church, first mentioned in 1333, was abandoned as a place of worship about 30 years ago, as the small parish of Landow was unable to maintain the building during the GDR era, and church construction was made difficult or even impossible by political circumstances. The entire interior, including the wooden ceiling, was dismantled; some parts were moved to other churches, while others were lost. Nevertheless, the church possesses a distinctive, somewhat forlorn charm and a special atmosphere in its idyllic seclusion. Since 2000, the parish has once again been using the village church for worship services and as a “cultural and pilgrimage church.” In 2000, the Evangelical parish of Samtens founded the “Friends of the Landow Church” association and has since regularly organized the “Landow Music Summer” with great success. Thanks to the dedication of artists in the 1980s and the support of the Friends’ Association, the church’s deterioration was halted, and extensive renovations were carried out in 1994 and 2002 to preserve the building’s structural integrity.
Landow Culture and Pilgrimage Church – History on the Kubitzer Bodden
The Landow Culture and Pilgrimage Church is one of the quiet yet impressive sights in northern Rügen. First mentioned in a document in 1333, the village church looks back on an eventful history. During the GDR era, the small parish could no longer maintain the building—the entire interior, including the wooden ceiling, was dismantled and either transferred to other churches or lost.
Morbid Charm and Restoration of the Historic Village Church
Despite this history, the church exudes a distinctive, morbid charm in its idyllic seclusion. Thanks to the dedication of artists in the 1980s, its decline was halted. Major restoration work to preserve the building’s structure was carried out in 1994 and 2002.
Landow Music Summer – Culture in the Heart of Rügen
Since 2000, the Protestant parish of Samtens has once again been using the village church for worship services and as a cultural and pilgrimage church. In connection with this, the “Friends of the Landow Church” association was founded, which has since regularly organized the popular “Landow Music Summer”—a cultural institution in the Baltic Sea region of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
