The best walks and hikes around Mühlen Eichsen

The interior of the church has a flat roof, and the interior furnishings date back to the renovation in the 1950s. Older Schwerin residents in the parish will remember that Protestant youth groups often gathered in Cramon for their summer meetings: the rectory has a special reputation among them. Today, the rectory has been sold, and the rectory barn was in danger of falling into disrepair. But, miraculously, residents of the surrounding villages came together with the parish to transform the barn into a radio play barn, which has also become a meeting place for the entire village and the surrounding area.

Beautiful village church

The trail is good

The simple brick Gothic church from the 14th century stands on a steep hill above the Stepenitz and the former water mill. It consists of a nave with a straight east end. The late Gothic, massive, square west tower with a hipped roof opens up to the nave in full height. The extension on the south side took place later. The pulpit dates from 1680 and the altarpiece with five paintings (Last Supper, Crucifixion, Ascension, Sermon on the Mount and Legislation) from 1698 and the altar cabinets from 1691. Century. Several tombstones in the south hall date from the 17th century. The organ prospectus with Rückpositiv from 1671 goes back to David Georg Briegel from Lübeck, son of Michael Beriegel, and organ builder Sager. It was moved here in 1723 from the Johanniter Church in Groß Eichsen by Hans Hantelmann, who created a new organ behind it. Today's internal work comes from Carl Börger from 1884. The instrument has eleven registers, which are divided between two manuals and a pedal. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_M%C3%BChlen_Eichsen

Next to the church there are some beautiful old thatched farmhouses. Behind the last farmhouse on the left in the direction of Schönfeld, a little-used path leads to the stone bridge that crosses the Stepenitz. Behind this bridge, a path leads right past the Stepenitz and Wendelstorfer to Wendelstorf and then on to the entrance to Dalberg. The path is also easily passable by bike.

In the church there are remains of ornamental grisaille painting, which are believed to date from the 17th century.

The village church of Cramon is a brick church that was built in the 14th century. In this church, the narrow connection between the church tower and the nave is quite noticeable. This prevented the facade of the nave with its decoration from being covered by a church tower right next to it.
