Ralswiek wooden chapel
The wooden chapel Ralswiek is a small Protestant church building in Ralswiek on Rügen . It is one of the churches of the Protestant parish of Schaprode , which belongs to the Stralsund Propstei of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District.
The small church is built entirely of wood in a style common in Sweden and represents an architectural specialty for Rügen.
At the end of the 19th century Hugo Sholto Graf von Douglas from Aschersleben acquired the Ralswiek estate and extensively rebuilt it. After building several houses, a school and the streets of the town, the intention was to build a church in Ralswiek. At an exhibition in Stockholm the Count saw the wooden chapel exhibited there as a model church . Douglas bought the church in 1907, had it dismantled and brought across the Baltic Sea to Ralswiek. Here it was rebuilt at its current location and consecrated in 1907.
Above the entrance to the church is the motto Love never stops reading.
Today the chapel is also used to hold organ concerts.
