Pötnitzer Kirche, Romanesque church in Mildensee, Germany
The Pötnitzer Kirche stands as a three-nave basilica constructed from brick, featuring a 35-meter tower and characteristic Romanesque architectural elements throughout its structure.
Built around 1180, the church became a parish church in 1198 when a Benedictine convent was established in Mildensee, transferred from the Imperial Abbey in Nienburg.
The church houses three paintings from the former Schlosskirche St Marien, including a Last Supper painting by Lucas Cranach the Younger from the 16th century.
The church serves as a place of worship for the Reformed congregation within the Evangelical State Church of Anhalt and offers regular services and community events.
Between 1995 and 1999, the church tower underwent restoration, during which a 600-year-old bell and new chime bells were installed.
