Seemannskirche

The Seemannskirche features a brick construction with a wooden tower covered in oak shingles and contains three bells within its structure.

Built between 1726 and 1728, the church transformed from a half-timbered structure to a brick building in 1830, becoming the first church on the Darß peninsula.

The interior displays numerous model ships from the 18th and 19th centuries, donated by sailors who survived shipwrecks in gratitude for their rescue.

During the season, visitors can explore the church Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00 and Sundays from 13:00 to 18:00.

Artists Marianne von Werefkin and Alexej Jawlensky painted the church in 1911, with Jawlensky's interpretation gaining national recognition.
