Pantelitz Between Nature and History

Nature, Cycling, and Leisure in the Municipality

The Pütter See nature reserve lies on the edge of Pütte and has a rest area and bathing spot. This connects the natural surroundings with the option of spending time by the water. If you would like to swim there, we recommend checking the conditions on site.

Cyclists have two different options to choose from. From the municipality of Pantelitz, you can cycle to the Borgwallsee nature reserve and ride around it. Since 2000, a cycle path has connected the municipality of Pantelitz with the Hanseatic city of Stralsund and the school location of Niepars. This means you can consider a ride followed by a circuit of the lake, or a route connecting two named destinations, as distinct options.

In Viersdorf, horse lovers can spend their leisure time at the “Pferdeparadies” (“Horse Paradise”). If this is important to your stay, check in advance what visits and activities are currently available.

Church and Architectural History in Pütte

Pütte Church in Pütte dates from the 13th century and is one of the oldest churches in the area. It is a three-aisled hall church with a single-bay choir; its west tower was added in the 15th century. “Three-aisled” describes a church interior divided into three aisles, while a bay denotes a section of the building’s structure. This helps put the details of the church interior and choir into context; the west tower, added later, marks another identifiable phase of construction.

The furnishings also reflect different periods. A fragment of a Last Supper fresco from the 14th century survives in the south aisle. The church also has a medieval baptismal font and a Baroque pastor’s panel. The altar mensa dates from the time the church was built. The organ was built in 1829 by the Berlin firm Buchholz. Together, these details show that the building’s history is not limited to a single date: medieval architecture sits alongside furnishings from different periods. If you would like to see the interior, check visiting arrangements in advance.

The Pastor’s Widow’s House and Pütte’s Literary History

The former pastor’s widow’s house in Pütte was built around 1786. Its name comes from the fact that the widow of a pastor was once required to move into the house. The name thus points to the house’s former social function. The painter Rainer Herold works in the former pastor’s widow’s house. The poet and local historian Carl Lappe is also connected with Pütte: he spent several years of his life there. These connections complement the architectural history with painting and literary history, offering further points of connection with the town’s history beyond its church architecture.
