The Domherrenhagen church ruins, commonly known as the Desert Church, are located directly on the Mecklenburg Chapel Trail not far from Ulrichshusen Castle.
The church ruins were structurally secured in the early 2000s so that church services, concerts and weddings can occasionally take place here.
A great atmosphere and one of the highlights of the Mecklenburg Chapel Trail. Not far from this Desert Church there is another Desert Church in Schorssow.

- why there are several highlights here is a mystery to me! One would have been completely sufficient -

The "desert church" is the church of St. Nikolai Domherrenhagen. The church was mentioned as early as the 13th century and assigned to the cathedral chapter of Güstrow. In the 17th century the church burned down during the Thirty Years' War. In 1649 the church, which was only preserved as a ruin, finally got its name "Wüste Kirche". The renovation of the ruins began in the early 2000s. In 2017/2018 she received a cross, a bench and a bronze sculpture with the name "I am the bread of life".

In addition to the services that still take place there today, this place also serves as a source of inspiration and backdrop for regional scary and ghost stories.
