The best family-friendly hikes and walks around Roggendorf

Unfortunately closed. But the small football pitch in the church garden is very nice

The stone church from the beginning of the 15th century is worth a visit

The village church of Roggendorf is a medieval fieldstone church in the Mecklenburg municipality of Roggendorf that was built in the 13th century. The single-nave fieldstone building dates from the transition from Romanesque to Gothic. The church houses a high Gothic carved altar worth seeing and the southernmost votive nave of the Baltic region. https://www.auf-nach-mv.de/reisezielen/a-kirche-roggendorf

Nice stopover, especially with children. There are some animals to see and a small farm shop. And many very nice people

There is everything for the cyclists. Of course, also for hikers. In addition to catering (water) and repair kit. Please show your appreciation and donate the money for the preservation of the church.

The fieldstone church, dating from the early 15th century, with its nave built around 1407, has a recessed box choir typical for West Mecklenburg at that time. The blind gable of the nave and the window surrounds are made of bricks, as is the triple window with the pointed arch blind in the choir gable. Gothic wall pillars support the structure. The nave has a flat ceiling, while the choir, covered by a cross-ribbed vault, is recessed. The opening of the choir to the nave is designed as a pointed-arch triumphal arch. A small extension was later added to the choir on the south side, made of bricks. The gable of the nave is also made of the same building material. The battered church tower was erected at the end of the 17th century as a boarded wooden tower to the west of the nave, and the pyramid roof is covered with wooden shingles. A tower clock is located on the west side. Wikipedia

St. Mary's Church in Groß Salitz is one of the oldest churches in Mecklenburg. In 1230, Groß Salitz was mentioned as a parish village in the Ratzeburg tithe register. Contrary to previous assumptions, construction began in the second half of the 13th century. The building was constructed as a three-aisled basilica. This and the unusually rich interior and exterior decoration with molded stones and terracottas suggest that the church had a special significance beyond the region. It was probably a pilgrimage church. At first the church was under the patronage of the parish priest of Gadebusch. By the 17th century at the latest, the patronage was passed on to the Lützow family, to whose estate Groß Salitz had belonged since the beginning of the 14th century. The Lützow burial chapel, two epitaphs from the 16th century and the northern, so-called patronage gallery still bear witness to this today. The important organ builder Friedrich Friese (I) built the organ that is still in use today in 1818/1819. However, it is in a very poor condition. The basilica type of building, which is unusual for a village church, the striking, contrasting shape of the tower and nave and an astonishing wealth of architectural and sculptural details make the Groß Salitzer Marienkirche a gem in the rich Mecklenburg church building landscape. In the centuries of its use, there have been numerous construction interventions, changes and renovations. However, it never lost its unique charisma. After the repair of the church tower in 1995 and the construction of a small community room at the bottom of the tower, maintenance and renovation work is now underway on the basilica. The roof structure of the central nave and its wall support were also renovated in 2006. Source: http://kirche-grosssalitz-fv.de/
