Rubkow: Village Church, Cemetery and Village Church Festival

Rubkow offers several distinct themes for a trip: the village church, built around 1500; the architectural history of Bömitz Manor; and the village church festival, held every year in August. Manor house and cemetery architecture add to these highlights. Depending on your interests, you can explore the village through its architectural history or by planning around a specific event date.

Village and architectural history in several facets

Rubkow Village Church was built around 1500. The main building of Bömitz Manor dates from the second half of the 18th century. These dates provide different historical points of reference. The manor complex in Rubkow includes a manor house and a left and right stable granary.

The historic cemetery complex in Rubkow includes a perimeter wall with a gateway, historic grave markers and railings, a funeral chapel, a bell frame, and a vault with access from the street. The church, manor complex and cemetery each have their own architectural character. This offers several topics for those interested in local and architectural history, rather than focusing on a single building.

Village church festival and event occasion

The village church festival in Rubkow takes place every year in August. Its annual recurrence gives you a general timeframe; check the specific festival dates before travelling if you want to plan your stay around the event.

Bömitz Manor can be rented for seminars, conferences and training courses, with associated services. If you plan to use it for this purpose, confirm the booking arrangements directly. This means there are two possible reasons to visit: an annual village event and a planned event at the manor.

Culture and activities in the wider Vorpommern-Greifswald travel destination

The wider Vorpommern-Greifswald travel destination offers additional cultural attractions of a very different kind. The Juliett U-461 is a museum at Peenemünde harbour and can be explored on a tour. The Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald displays the Croy Tapestry of 1554, a unique cultural and historical testimony from the Reformation period. The Otto Lilienthal Museum is a technical biographical museum dedicated to aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer and humanist Otto Lilienthal; it is located in his hometown of Anklam. These museums focus on maritime, art and technology history.

Vorpommern-Greifswald also offers a range of landscape and outdoor activities. The Ueckermünde Heath is ideal for hiking, cycling and horse riding. Three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald. The Baltic Sea Cycle Route, part of the EuroVelo EV10 route, passes through the district. The Stettiner Haff Circular Route and the Route of North German Romanticism are among the regional cycling routes for exploring the district. You can therefore consider cultural destinations, activities in the heath and cycling trips as different priorities when planning your visit to the region.
