If you are considering Pantelitz as a place to stay, you can plan around nature and cycling in the municipality, as well as architectural and local history in Pütte. The “Pütter See” nature reserve, a cycling trip to and around “Borgwallsee,” and Pütte Church appeal to different interests. This lets you decide in advance whether to focus on nature, outdoor activities or the history of individual buildings.

Nature and Cycling in the Municipality

On the outskirts of Pütte, in the municipality of Pantelitz, lies the “Pütter See” nature reserve, which has a rest and bathing area. If you plan to swim there, check the bathing conditions before your visit. 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. The options offer different experiences: the Pütter See is ideal for resting and swimming, the Borgwallsee for a cycling loop, and the cycle path for travelling between the named places. Horse enthusiasts can spend their leisure time at the “Pferdeparadies” in Viersdorf. If you are planning a specific visit, check in advance what visiting options are available.

Pütte Church: Architectural History and Features

Pütte Church in Pütte dates back to 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. A fragment of a 14th-century Last Supper fresco survives in the south aisle. Features include a medieval baptismal font and a Baroque pastor’s plaque. The altar mensa dates from the time the church was built; the organ was made in 1829 by the Berlin company Buchholz. The same building thus brings together its medieval design, later additions and individual features. The dates span the church’s construction, the fresco and west tower, and a 19th-century organ. If you would like to visit the church, check the current visiting options in advance.

The Former Parsonage Widow’s House and Local Biographies

The former parsonage widow’s house in Pütte was built around 1786. Its name comes from the fact that a pastor’s widow was once required to move into the house. Its history therefore highlights a different aspect from sacred architecture: the focus is on a former residential function preserved in the building’s name. The painter Rainer Herold works in the former parsonage widow’s house. The poet and local historian Carl Lappe spent several years of his life in Pütte. Together, the biographies of Herold and Lappe add personal connections to local history to the architectural history.

Vorpommern-Rügen in the Wider Region

The wider travel destination of Vorpommern-Rügen extends beyond the municipality. The district of Vorpommern-Rügen includes the island of Rügen and the offshore islands of Hiddensee and Ummanz. On Rügen, the beech forests in Jasmund National Park are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe.” In the Hanseatic city of Stralsund, the old town is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Historic Centres of Stralsund and Wismar.” These examples illustrate regional cultural and natural attractions, while Pütte Church and the parsonage widow’s house shape the local history of Pütte.
