Church of St. Peter and St. Paul Angermünde, Gothic church in Angermünde, Germany.
The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul is a Gothic structure built in brick, featuring a nave and choir separated by a rood screen. The building displays medieval construction techniques typical of northern German brick architecture.
The building originated as part of a Franciscan monastery in the 13th century, with first documentation in 1299. After secularization in 1543, it lost its monastic function but continued to serve as a church.
The church served as a place of worship for Huguenot refugees between 1699 and 1788, reflecting a period of religious diversity in the Brandenburg region. Visitors can still sense the traces of this community within its spaces today.
The building currently requires extensive repairs due to structural damage, making interior access restricted for safety reasons. Visitors should check in advance whether the church is open for viewing before planning a visit.
The original wooden roof timbers dating to 1440 have survived intact to the present day. Dendrochronological analysis of these beams provides valuable insights into medieval construction methods.
