Kirchenruine Dambeck, Romanesque church ruins in Bütow, Germany.

The granite stone church structure stands near Dambecker See, featuring remaining walls that showcase late Romanesque architectural elements from its original construction.

Built around 1180 as a fortified church, the structure endured damage in 1649 when its thatched roof collapsed and later suffered from a lightning strike in 1954.

The restored choir room continues to host religious ceremonies, including annual Pentecost services and baptisms for the local Massow parish community.

Visitors can access the church ruins at Am Dambecker See in Bütow through guided tours and contact the management via kirchenruine.dambeck@aol.com for additional information.

The Dambeck Church Ruins Association raised 364,000 euros over ten years to restore this oldest church structure in southern Mecklenburg.
