Maria Meeresstern

Maria Meeresstern is a Catholic church in the Baltic seaside resort of Sellin, displaying classical architecture with clean lines and balanced proportions. The building embodies the religious and architectural style of the early 20th century in this coastal region.

The church opened in 1912 and emerged as part of Sellin's development into a modern seaside resort on the Baltic coast. It quickly became an important religious center for the city's growing Catholic community.

The church's name brings together the sea and starlight, reflecting Sellin's connection to the ocean and its seafaring heritage. Visitors experience a place where faith and local maritime identity intertwine.

Visiting is best done during service times, which occur mainly on weekends. The location sits in central Sellin and is easy to reach, with visitors welcome if they approach with respect for this religious space.

The building is protected as a monument and preserves its original architecture from the early 20th century while functioning as an active parish church. This dual role as both a living place of worship and a heritage monument makes the site noteworthy.
