Georgenkirche Waren, Medieval church in Waren (Müritz), Germany.
Description
Georgenkirche is a brick Gothic church featuring pointed arch windows, towering walls, and a sturdy quadratic western tower built in the early 1400s. The interior is defined by a large organ with 22 registers that shapes the acoustic character of the space.
History
Construction began around 1300, replacing an earlier wooden church first recorded in 1273. The western tower was added roughly a century later and has defined the building's appearance ever since.
Culture
The church serves the evangelical Lutheran community as a place for worship and concerts, where visitors can experience the active parish life. The spatial design with its tall windows and vaults creates an environment where people gather for various occasions.
Practical
Visitors should be aware that the large organ is currently undergoing restoration, so the acoustics may be affected during this period. It is advisable to check ahead about current services or events to plan the best time for a visit.
Did you know?
The bell tower contains four bells, with three cast in 2020 and dedicated in 2021 named Peace Bell, Easter Bell, and Lord's Prayer Bell. These new additions connect the centuries-old tradition of bell ringing with contemporary craftsmanship.
