Wreechen

Wreechen is a village in the borough of Putbus on the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen.

The village lies in picturesque countryside between the lake of Wreecher See to the west and the Baltic Sea bay of Rügischer Bodden to the east.

Northwest of the village is the farmstead of the former Wreechen Watermill which now houses a small exhibition of sculptures and email art.

In 1794, a post windmill was built for the miller to replace the watermill as a result of the lack of water.

Another windmill, used collectively by the smaller farmers, was located east of the village.
