ウンター湖のおすすめライド

A member of the congregation unlocked the church for us and gave us a short but interesting tour. For overnight accommodation, please contact the parish office in Gumtow. The woman K. listed in the pilgrimage flyer had relinquished this role due to age (as of 2023).

The massive, rectangular church tower was added in 1480/82 to the previous church, which had been demolished at the beginning of the 16th century. The roof structure of the subsequently rebuilt nave was dendrochronologically dated to 1514. The top floor of the church tower houses the bell cage behind the sound arcades designed as bifora. The stepped jambs of the windows and portals were constructed of rounded brick. The massive buttresses were added to the east wall of the nave only in the 18th/19th century. The gable has three rows of blind arches.

Along the cycle path are a chain of lakes, including the Obersee, which you can cycle to directly. But be careful, you have to find your way.

The current Bantikow Castle dates from 1906. Even before this new building, there was a castle or fortress on the knight's seat of Bantikow, which had existed since the early 14th century. However, this older building no longer existed at the beginning of the 20th century, which is why the new building in the neo-baroque style was built directly on top of the older core. Bantikow Castle is currently a privately run child and youth welfare facility.
