St. Mary's Church Friedland

The Fangelturm in Friedland (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) is a defense tower of the city wall, which surrounded the city.

The tower served to protect the city in a northwesterly direction and secured the transition across the delta. During the "Bride War" between the Duchy of Pomerania and the land of Stargard in 1453, the upper part of the tower was destroyed by a stone bullet from a Blide and not rebuilt. Thereafter, as the name Fangelturm betrays, the building was used as a prisoner tower.

In the years 1909-1911, the city Friedland rebuilt the tower and installed a pressure vessel to use the building as a water tower.

The St. Mary's Church in Friedland is one of the largest brick churches in northern Germany. It has since 2008 the status of the main church of the parish of St. Marien Friedland. This belongs to the provost Neustrelitz the church district Mecklenburg the Evangelical Lutheran Church in northern Germany.

Friedland is a city that impresses you again and again and offers beautiful insights and tours from every direction.
