Stiftskirche Bützow
Stiftskirche Bützow, Brick Gothic church in Bützow, Germany.
Stiftskirche Bützow is a three-aisled hall church built from brick with a polygonal choir and a tower reaching 74 meters in height. The interior features a unified ceiling height across all three aisles, which is characteristic of the hall church design from the late medieval period.
Construction began in the second half of the 13th century as a basilica before being transformed into a hall church by the late 14th century. This architectural shift reflected changing building preferences across the Baltic region during the medieval period.
The carved altar from 1503 displays religious imagery created by skilled craftspeople of that era. The Renaissance pulpit and bronze baptismal font reflect the artistic traditions of their respective periods and remain central to the church's interior.
Access to the church can be arranged by contacting the parish office at Kirchenstraße 04 to schedule visits at times outside regular opening hours. Planning ahead through this contact point allows visitors to coordinate their visit with someone familiar with the building.
The tower contains the largest preserved medieval wooden tower structure in the Baltic region, built around 1450. This carpentry work demonstrates construction techniques rarely seen intact in other buildings of the area.
