Village church Tuchen, Heritage church in Breydin, Germany
Village church Tuchen is a half-timbered building with a western tower and polygonal apse from the early 18th century in Breydin, Brandenburg. The renovated interior now provides space for about 60 people during events or celebrations.
The new building was erected between 1711 and 1718 after King Frederick I granted 25 thalers to replace the earlier stone structure. Following a storm and collapse in 1990, villagers founded a support association in 1997 that organized the restoration.
Locals use the building as a gathering space where residents organize rotating exhibitions featuring photographs from everyday life in the village. The collection grows each year and is maintained and expanded by the community itself.
The space is suitable for civil and religious weddings or other private celebrations with up to 60 guests throughout the year. Access is via the small roads of Breydin village, and parking is available nearby.
The village community continues to run the place itself through a citizens' initiative that came together after the storm damage. This form of management is rather uncommon in rural Brandenburg and shows the commitment of residents to their heritage.
