Kirch Mulsow: Village Church, Organ and Historical Traces

Kirch Mulsow combines a listed village church with several places of remembrance. The village is especially interesting if you would like to explore architectural history and evidence of local history side by side: medieval features, a 19th-century organ and traces of family history can all be found here. Beyond Kirch Mulsow, the wider Carinerland area offers further cultural and natural attractions.

Village Church and Historical Details

The Evangelical Lutheran village church dates from the 14th century. Its eastern section is built of brick, while the western section is made of fieldstone. The church also has a low wooden west tower dating from the 18th century. The building brings together different materials and periods of construction; its protected status is also part of its history.

The furnishings, too, bring together traces of different periods. A late Gothic Crucifixion group from the 15th century stands on the masonry altar block. The church also has a Friese III organ dating from 1860, which was restored in 2005. Medieval visual art and a later instrument thus come together in the church.

Places of Remembrance Around the Church

North of the churchyard is the mausoleum, the family burial place of the Reichhoff family from Carvensdorf. Traces of the family coat of arms remain on its iron door. A sandstone sarcophagus stands at the church’s north-west corner; its inscription names the landowner Russow. South of the church, a war memorial with a name plaque commemorates those who fell in the First World War.

These details highlight different aspects: the coat of arms on the mausoleum points to the Reichhoff family, the inscription on the sarcophagus names Russow, and the name plaque commemorates the fallen. Together with the church’s architectural history, they create a varied focus for anyone interested in architecture, historical inscriptions and local history.

Kirch Mulsow in the Wider Carinerland Area

Kirch Mulsow is part of Carinerland. The hilly ground moraine landscape is characterised by clear streams, wide fields and dense forests, and is home to a rich variety of animal and plant life. The Salzhaff is about 13 kilometres from Carinerland. The region is close to the Baltic Sea and lies between Wismar and Rostock.

Cultural sites in the wider Carinerland destination also offer a range of architectural themes. Alt Karin has an Early Gothic brick church with an impressive rib-vaulted ceiling, while Ravensberg has a manor house dating from the 19th century. Parts of a manor complex survive in Danneborth, including a Baroque manor house remodelled in the Neoclassical style and a large, double-skinned stable building. In Neu Karin, the village layout has been largely preserved as a farming and crafts village.

Nature and landscape can also be explored as themes in their own right. Krempin has a nature trail. The Entenmoor nature reserve near Moitin provides a habitat for some rare bird species. Moitin is also home to a lime tree more than 800 years old, with a trunk circumference of 7.50 metres, which is among the oldest trees in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Locally, it is known as the “wedding and court lime tree”; the name refers to other customs of the rural population. The manor park in Danneborth is home to old standard fruit trees and a pond with an artificially created island.

Seasonal celebrations take place in Carinerland, including Easter bonfires, summer parties, harvest festivals and Advent markets; visitors are welcome. If you would like to include a celebration in your travel plans, check the specific dates in advance.

When looking for accommodation, you can first decide which themes you would like to shape your stay: the church and places of remembrance in Kirch Mulsow, or nature, architecture and celebrations across the wider Carinerland area. Choose where to stay based on which of these regional highlights matter most to you.
