Dassow

Dassow is a port town on the Lübeck Bay in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The municipality extends across several districts and provides access to the Baltic Sea with historical harbor facilities.

The area was shaped by a German castle built in the 12th century on an earlier Slavic site. This location between Lübeck and Wismar made it an important trading place on the region's trade route.

The Saint Nicholas Church with its early brick Gothic style shapes religious life and the town center today. The building shows medieval brick construction techniques and remains a place for community gatherings.

When visiting, you will find several districts like Feldhusen and Groß Voigtshagen that are easy to reach on foot. The town offers access to medical facilities and schools for longer stays.

A warehouse from the 18th century at the Stepenitz River outlet recalls the time of grain and product trade by ship. This simple structure shows how farmers and merchants once organized their goods before export.
