Choir room with altar and confessionals

The St. Michael Church in Sagard is a late Romanesque / Gothic brick church in Sagard on the Jasmund peninsula on Rügen .

history

The fourth oldest church in Rügen was built around 1210. A single nave church without a tower was created .

Around 1400 the Romanesque choir was demolished and the current Gothic choir built. A south chapel was also built, a sacristy and the north aisle were added. Around 1500 the current square, compact tower was added and the main nave was provided with a Gothic vault . At the end of the 18th century, the south chapel was largely demolished and converted into the current baroque south aisle.

Furnishing

The interior is completely white. The confessionals on the left and right in the choir are from the time of Swedish Pomerania (1648–1815).

The baroque altar comes from the workshop of the wood sculptor Elias Keßler from Stralsund , made in the years 1726/1727. The altarpieces show the passion story of Jesus Christ and allegorical figures. The altar cloak, recently rediscovered and restored, probably also dates from this period.

The three-part wall cupboard next to the altar dates from around 1450. The flowers were painted on around 1800.

Triumphal cross

The stalls as well as the pulpit, baptistery and organ loft come from a renovation around 1830. This was necessary after the occupation of the island of Rügen by French troops who used the church as a hospital at the beginning of the 19th century.

In the north aisle there are portraits of two pastors from Sagard: on the left that of Pastor Christenius (1674–1750) and on the right that of Pastor Schwarz († 1750).

Another piece of equipment is the body of a triumphal cross group from the 15th century.
