Discover Trinwillershagen: Salt Towers, Church and Baltic Sea Mill

Trinwillershagen lies in the hinterland of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula. The municipality combines excursions along the Baltic coast with historical and cultural insights into its villages. Places to visit include the salt towers of Trinwillershagen, as well as the church and Baltic Sea Mill in Langenhanshagen. Traces of local history can also be found in Wiepkenhagen. When planning your trip, you can choose between cycling tours and visits with different themes.

Baltic Sea Mill and Salt Towers

The Baltic Sea Mill is located in Langenhanshagen, a district of the municipality of Trinwillershagen. This small, family-run oil mill produces oils and flours by hand using gentle cold pressing, and bottles them by hand. On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., visitors can watch the oil being pressed and sample various oils and flours. This combines an insight into the production process with a tasting; check the schedule before you arrive.

Another focus for a visit is the salt towers of Trinwillershagen. These include a tower with a 16-sided floor plan, indoor graduation works and misting systems. On a guided tour, visitors can learn about the stories and secrets of the salt towers. Guided tours are offered on Thursdays; the listed dates run through December 17, 2026. Before visiting, check whether a tour date suits your stay.

Church and Culture in Langenhanshagen

The church in Langenhanshagen is a Late Gothic fieldstone building dating from the first half of the 14th century. Its rectangular nave and choir are among the features of the building, as is the 15th-century carved altar, part of the church’s interior. The organ gallery with the organ by Barnim Grüneberg of Stettin dates from 1879 and is currently in the Organ Museum in Malchow.

Today, the church also hosts a recurring arts program: each summer, it serves as a studio for visiting artists for one week. Visitors can watch the artists at work; exact dates may vary. Langenhanshagen therefore offers different ways to explore local history side by side—from its Late Gothic building and furnishings to its temporary studio program.

Langenhanshagen is also home to a bell tower with a bell dating from 1704. A memorial stone commemorates the victims of the death march from the Barth concentration camp. These two places tell different stories about the village’s history: the bell tower points to a specific historical object, while the memorial stone keeps the memory of the victims alive.

Manor House and Cycling Tours

The manor house in the district of Wiepkenhagen was built around 1880/90. The basic layout of a landscape garden is still present on its grounds. Together with the church in Langenhanshagen, it offers a glimpse of the municipality’s different historical traces: a manor house with remnants of its garden on the one hand, and a fieldstone building with a carved altar and an organ history on the other.

Cyclists can also include Trinwillershagen in their travel plans. The municipality’s villages serve as starting points for exploring the Baltic coast along well-maintained cycling paths. Cycling and visits to historic places offer different experiences; depending on your travel plans, you can decide which to focus on.
