    The beginnings of the small town of Meetzen, west of Gadebusch, go back to the year 1230. The place name was derived from the Old Slavic word for sword. In former times warriors were buried with their swords near the village. This is confirmed by archaeological finds from 1994. The hill on which the chapel stands is planted with oak trees - one for each fallen soldier from the First World War. Visiting the area on a gloomy November day, one feels transported into a painting by Caspar David Friedrich and completely internalized in thoughts far away from the world. The present-day chapel was the owner of the estate Fr. von Lützow on Holdorf, reached in 1751 on the foundations of a predecessor. She has only one room with a flat ceiling. The decor is simple, but lovingly prepared.
