The St. Jacobi Church in the Kasnevitz district of the Putbus community is a 14th century church on Rügen .

history

The Kasnevitz Church is a three-bay Gothic brick building that was dendrochronologically dated to 1365. The recessed choir with a polygonal end and sacristy in the north dates from the middle of the 14th century.

The original tower probably collapsed on the 1st Sunday of Advent in 1641, and the bells were moved to another church. Today's neo-Gothic tower, visible from afar, was built by PR Brecht in 1864 and has two octagonal upper floors with a pointed, brick helmet. At the same time the west gable was renewed. The interior of the church is plastered and was repainted in 1990/1991.

Building description

The nave and the choir show a surrounding coffin cornice and have a recessed plaster band under the baroque renewed main cornice. The buttresses are drawn outwards at the choir and inwards in the nave. The east gable of the ship is structured with panels. The portals and windows are ogival arched with stepped walls with adjusted round bars, the choir windows are in two parts and arranged in plaster panels.

The interior of the nave and the choir is closed off with cross vaults. The vaults in the choir were plastered in the 18th century and then painted with neo-Gothic tendrils and angels making music.

Furnishing

The main piece of equipment is a former pulpit altar from 1746, which was designed by Johann Artmer. The figures are by M. Becker and the painting from 1747 by JM Harder. The altar consists of a column architecture with a cranked cornice. On the side there are figures of Moses and John the Baptist. A cartouche with the depiction of the church patron James the Elder, acanthus ornaments and band decoration is also included, possibly also other stored fragments of angel sculptures and a carved cloud halo with the name of God.

The pulpit was dismantled in 1958 and set up separately on the triumphal arch . Next to the pulpit is a pulpit clock . The names of the preachers since the Reformation are written on a plaque next to the pulpit.

The furnishings also include a baroque altar screen, a torso of a crucifix from the beginning of the 16th century and a fragment of a wooden sacrament house from the 15th century. There are also six dated cabinet disks with the coat of arms of Duke Philipp Julius of Pomerania and various noble families from the 16th and 17th centuries.
