Vitt Chapel, Chapel in Putgarten, Germany
The white Vitt Chapel stands on a cliff near the Baltic Sea, surrounded by thirteen thatched fishermen's houses in the Putgarten district.
The chapel was constructed to provide fishermen and sailors with a place of worship in this coastal settlement, which received fishing rights in 1290.
The chapel remains an essential part of the maritime heritage on Rügen island, where local fishermen continue their traditional fishing practices.
Visitors can reach the chapel by walking 1.5 kilometers from Putgarten or taking the Arkona Railway to explore this car-free coastal area.
The chapel sits within a natural riverbank gorge near Cape Arkona, making it the northernmost religious building on the German island of Rügen.
