Komturei Kraak, Medieval commandry in Rastow, Germany
The Komturei Kraak features a long hall church with a three-sided eastern closure and narrow buttresses added during subsequent modifications in 1452.
Established in 1217, this Order of St. John commandry operated from different locations, starting in Goddin before moving to Sülstorf and finally settling in Kraak until 1648.
The Lutheran church houses a 16th-century wooden altarpiece displaying apocalyptic themes, along with a baroque pulpit from 1697 and Gothic period carved figures.
Located 20 kilometers south of Schwerin, the remaining structures include the Johanniter churches in both Sülstorf and Kraak, open for religious services.
The commandry stands as the oldest among three Mecklenburg establishments of the Order of St. John, marking its position in regional religious history.
