Motorway Church and Getting There

Kavelstorf Motorway Church is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. It can be reached in five minutes from the Kavelstorf exit on the A 19 and from the A 20. If you plan to visit the church, coordinate your visit time with your travel arrangements; check the visitor information before setting out. Kavelstorf station has bicycle stands and car parking; there is no staff or mobility service there. If you rely on these parking facilities, check what is available in advance, as station facilities may change.

Cemetery Chapel and Bakehouse

Kavelstorf cemetery was laid out anew in the 19th century, and a chapel was built there. The small cemetery chapel is a few metres south of Kavelstorf village church. In 2022, it was renovated inside and out. This makes it possible to distinguish between the cemetery’s new layout and the chapel’s later renovation as separate moments in the village’s history.

A reconstructed bakehouse has been in use at the Kavelstorf rectory since 2013. It complements the cemetery chapel as another aspect of local church history, this time focusing on the reconstruction and use of a bakehouse.

Via Baltica and Pilgrimage Connections

The Via Baltica runs from Rostock through Reez towards Schwaan and passes near Kavelstorf. Pilgrims occasionally stay overnight at the rectory in Kavelstorf. The connection to pilgrimage therefore has two geographical aspects: the Via Baltica runs near the village, while pilgrims occasionally stay overnight at the rectory.

In the Wider Destination of Dummerstorf

In the wider destination of Dummerstorf, Dummerstorf Manor is another historic point of interest. It was built between 1714 and 1717 in the Baroque style as the ancestral seat of the Mecklenburg noble family von Preen and is a listed monument. An association opens two halls to the public for events such as concerts, readings and talks. If you are planning to attend an event, check the latest details with the association.

In Kessin, also within the wider destination of Dummerstorf, St. Godehard Village Church has a carved Madonna and Child dating from around 1300, as well as a carved figure of Bishop St. Godehard from the 15th century. The dates place the two works of art in different periods: the Madonna is older than the bishop’s figure.
