Maria-Magdalena-Kirche, Gothic brick church in Putbus, Germany
Description
Maria-Magdalena-Kirche is a brick church in Putbus built in the Gothic style, distinguished by its red masonry construction. The structure features a three-story square tower, a main nave, and a straight-ending choir section, all constructed entirely from clay bricks.
History
The church was first documented in 1249 and served as a burial site for the Putbus noble family starting in 1351. This role lasted for roughly five centuries until 1860, cementing the building's connection to the region's aristocratic history.
Culture
The church is named after Mary Magdalene, a significant figure in Christian tradition whose story is told through the carved altar reliefs. These sandstone carvings show biblical scenes that help visitors understand the religious narratives that shaped the community's faith.
Practical
The church hosts regular organ concerts during summer months, allowing visitors to experience music in this medieval space. Guests should be prepared for uneven flooring and limited lighting in certain areas when exploring the interior.
