Landow Village Church

A Wegekirche is a church which is designed such that the location of the priest and congregation gives the impression that they are on their way to the Lord, facing the Christ, usually in the symbolic form of a cross or painting.

It was first mentioned in the records when reference was made to a priest at Landow ...plebane (Priester) in Landaue dating to the year 1333.

The altar, font, pulpit and painted wooden ceiling of the church all came from the workshop of the most important Pomeranian sculptor of the baroque style, Elias Kessler from the town of Stralsund.

During the GDR period, major repairs were carried out, most recently in 1959 on the church roof.

In 1982 the church was assessed as in danger of collapse and, in the 1980s, it was also removed from the county monument list.
