History and architecture

Until 1886 the chapel was a subsidiary of Grüssow , after which it came to Satow .

Some historians suspect that a Germanic cult site may have existed here. There is a record of a church that was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . Then the small, octagonal half-timbered building was built in 1749. The roof is covered with red tiles. The walls are divided by almost square windows with bars. The towerless, octagonal half-timbered building was completely renovated by 1992. The bell tower is free-standing, the steel bell was cast in Bochum in 1874. In summer the building is used for exhibitions and concerts.
