Kuntzow Chapel
The Kuntzow Chapel is a chapel in the Kuntzow district of the Bandelin community in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district . It belongs to the local community and is used by the Gützkow parish of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District.
A church in Kuntzow was first mentioned in 1428. By 1830 the building was so dilapidated that it was in danger of collapsing and could no longer be used for church services. After the Kuntzow landlord and patron of the church of Corswandt had the dilapidated church building demolished following the approval of the church, the building of today's chapel, which was consecrated on September 18, 1840, took place on the foundation walls in 1839/40. It is a rectangular half-timbered building with plastered brick frames. The entrance on the south side has a porch with a towed roof. The windows are lead-glazed and have pointed-arched skylights. The chapel has a flat wooden ceiling. On the altar from the 19th century is a copy of the painting “Holy Night” by Antonio da Correggio . In addition to a baptism made of artificial sandstone from the 19th century, the painting "Crucifixion" by EC Vorwerck from the 17th century is part of the chapel's furnishings.
In front of the west gable is a crypt extension with a round arch portal and cross vault , which was built as a hereditary burial for the von Corswandt family . It is a plastered square brick building with a tiled gable roof . The arched entrance is on the north side of the extension.
