Church in Russow

The Church in Russow is a brick church built in the Gothic style, located in Rerik. The building features characteristic pointed arches and was constructed entirely from local red brick materials.

The church was built during the period of Gothic architecture, when northern German communities constructed religious buildings from brick. The structure later received recognition as a cultural monument and became a protected site.

The church displays traditional medieval brickwork techniques typical of northern German communities. It shows how local builders developed distinctive construction methods using materials they could readily produce.

The church is located in Russow, part of Rerik in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and is accessible on foot. The red brick exterior makes it easy to spot, and visitors can view the outside at any time.

The church demonstrates the northern German version of Gothic design, where brick replaced stone as the primary building material. This was an economical solution that shaped the region and remains visible in its structures today.
