Church of Mechow

The church in Mechow is a small but impressive church, whose trademark is the very strong dry stone walls. Like so many churches of this time and in the region, Mechow's sacred building was built in the 13th century as a rectangular rock building. Almost nothing has been changed since then. Perhaps two additional windows were added, otherwise the two renovations in 1897 and 1992 preserved the original condition. The many round arches show the Romanesque character of the church. To get inside, ask the village for the key to the church.

Fortified church from the 13th century. Discovered during an accidental detour from the Uckermärkische Radrundweg.

One of the few churches in which the defensive function of a church was still effective in the Middle Ages. The large window arches were certainly added later.
