St.-Pauli-Kirche Bobbin, Gothic church in Bobbin, Germany.
St.-Pauli-Kirche is a fieldstone church located in the village of Bobbin on Rügen island. The building features a wooden flat ceiling in the nave and detailed ribbed vaulting in the choir, creating distinct interior spaces.
The structure dates to the medieval period and was first documented around 1250. A brick tower was added to its western side in the 15th century, followed by significant interior renovations in the 1600s.
The church honors Saint Paul, the founder of early Christian communities. Inside, visitors can observe religious artworks that reflect the spiritual life and beliefs of past generations.
The church is open to visitors daily from spring through autumn, allowing time to explore its interior and structural details. The location is accessible by car and sits within reasonable distance of other regional attractions.
This is the only fieldstone church on Rügen island and once served as one of four medieval pilgrimage destinations. Visitors rarely learn that pilgrims came here specifically to receive papal indulgences, making it an important spiritual stop in its era.
