Pritzwalk

Located between Wittstock and Wittenberge, Pritzwalk extends across 165 square kilometers at an elevation of 63 meters above sea level.

The municipality received its town rights in 1256 and experienced a devastating fire in 1821 that destroyed most buildings in the center.

The Saint Nikolai Church, established around 1250, stands as a gothic hall church with a 72-meter tower following its reconstruction in the 19th century.

The town maintains multiple parks, residential areas, and commercial spaces, connected through public transportation and the railway station built in 1955.

Medieval defense structures remain visible throughout Pritzwalk, including sections of 14th-century walls and a preserved shot tower in the northeast.
