Dorfkirche Binz, Gothic Revival church in Binz, Germany
Dorfkirche Binz is a church building in the center of Binz on Rügen island featuring pointed arches and tall windows that define Gothic Revival style. Inside, it houses an organ with fourteen stops divided across two manuals and pedals.
The building was constructed between 1911 and 1913 to serve the growing Protestant community in Binz. It grew out of an expansion from the St. John's Community in Zirkow during a period when the area was rapidly developing.
The church serves as a gathering place for the Protestant community of Binz, hosting regular worship services and religious celebrations. It functions as the spiritual heart where residents and visitors come together for important occasions.
The building sits in a central location in Binz and is easy to reach, making it a natural stopping point for visitors. Access to the interior is available during worship services, and regular events allow you to hear the organ and experience the interior appointments.
Three bells in the church were cast in Bochum and define the soundscape of the surrounding area. The organ underwent major restoration in 2013 to recover its original romantic tonal qualities.
