Peter-Pauls-Kirche Zingst, Neo-Gothic church in Zingst, Germany
Peter-Pauls-Kirche is a Neo-Gothic brick building in Zingst featuring yellow masonry and a distinctive polygonal choir area. Inside, a 1986 Sauer organ with seventeen registers provides the musical foundation for services and concerts.
Friedrich August Stüler designed the church in 1860 following a petition by local residents to King Friedrich Wilhelm IV for a new place of worship. Stüler, trained under the influential architect Schinkel, shaped this building during his career.
The brick structure is a visible gathering place for worship and cultural events in the town. Residents and visitors regularly attend organ concerts and meet at the adjacent reading café, which supports fair trade initiatives.
The church is open for services and events on weekends, allowing visitors to explore the interior and experience the organ. The adjacent reading café is a comfortable place to spend time and supports fair trade shopping.
The church bells hang in a separate bell house rather than in a tower, since the original tower plan was never completed due to budget constraints. This unusual arrangement is the result of practical compromises made during construction.
