Thomaskirche Tribsees

Thomaskirche is a brick church building in Tribsees with red walls and Gothic cross-ribbed vaults spanning the interior. The construction displays northern German architectural traditions from the 13th to 15th centuries.

A major fire in 1702 severely damaged the church, and reconstruction continued until 1735. Extensive modifications in Gothic Revival style then followed between 1861 and 1869.

The pulpit from Lübeck in 1577 displays carved wooden reliefs showing the four evangelists and biblical stories arranged carefully in scenes. These artworks tell religious stories through the craftsmanship of local masters.

The church sits along the Via Baltica, a pilgrimage walking route near the Baltic Sea, making it easy to reach. It welcomes visitors throughout the year and holds regular Lutheran services.

The Mill Altar from the second quarter of the 15th century depicts biblical scenes with a special connection to mill culture. The fine details of this uncommon representation show how the church honored local craft traditions.
