The village church is an imposing building that you wouldn't really expect in this area. The church is located on Schloßstraße and is not far from the castle.
A visit to the church is definitely worthwhile. The opening times are as follows: 01.05. - 31.10: Tuesday to Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
For me personally, the altarpiece is the highlight of the church.

- why they have created several highlights for one and the same thing is a mystery to me, as it is completely unnecessary! -

Basedow was first mentioned in a document in 1247. The oldest part of the village church also dates from this period: a rectangular choir built of fieldstone masonry. A three-bay nave was added to it in the 15th century. The tall neo-Gothic tower was only added during a restoration between 1855 and 1857.

From 1357 until the end of World War II in 1945, the village was the seat of the Hahn family, who not only had an elaborate palace built here, but also decisively influenced the design of the village church in the 16th and 17th centuries. Because of its unusually rich and uniform interior, the church holds special significance for Mecklenburg's church and art history. We were fortunate that a local history enthusiast arranged for us to tour the church during our visit. This provided us with very interesting details about the church, the history of the palace, and current events. Thank you🙏
