Discover Lindenberg
Accommodation in Lindenberg
If you are interested in architectural history and the history of older settlements, Lindenberg offers specific points of interest: the village church and traces of Slavic settlements on the Augraben. The dates range from the wall paintings of 1597 to the reconstruction of the bell tower in 2012. Lindenberg thus combines architecture with traces of early settlements.
Architectural history of the village church
Lindenberg village church was built around 1580 using fieldstone and brick. Its bell tower burned down in 1920 and was rebuilt on a solid shaft in 2012. The reconstruction marks a later phase in the building’s history and adds a significant turning point to the history of the church.
The village church features a Renaissance-style altarpiece and altar rails, as well as a pulpit and pews for the clergy from the 17th century. The organ was built in 1867 at the workshop of Barnim GrĂĽneberg in Stettin. During interior restoration work in 1956, wall paintings with biblical motifs dating from 1597 were uncovered. The timeline thus spans from paintings of the late 16th century to the 19th-century organ; the pulpit and clergy pews represent the 17th century.
Traces of Slavic settlements
Lindenberg originated as the old Slavic settlement of Relyn. The remains of a large Slavic hillfort are still clearly visible on the Augraben northeast of Lindenberg. The local name “Schwedenschanzen” (“Swedish earthworks”) has no connection to the Swedes. Relyn and the hillfort add another focus to Lindenberg’s history alongside the architectural and furnishing history of the village church.
