The church in Stolpe on Usedom in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district dates from the 19th century. The Neo-Gothic brick building belongs to the Usedom/Stolpe/Mönchow-Zecherin parish in the Pasewalk deanery of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany. Previously, it belonged to the Greifswald church district of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirche_Stolpe_auf_Usedom

Originally, the mill had a millstone for rye and a groats stamp, as documented in a local chronicle. Today, the mill with its millstone is fully functional. In 2016, a bolting box, which serves to separate flour and bran, was installed.[1] The internal house tree consists of a single 200-year-old oak. The wings of the mill are made of larch wood, with the brake of the spur wheel made of soft poplar wood. The crossbeams are also made of oak, while most other parts are made of pine. The mill housing with its timber-frame construction is classically held together by wooden pegs.[3] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bockwindm%C3%BChle_Pudagla

The Bockwindmühle at Pudagla was already marked on a Swedish land survey map in 1693. In October 1779, the mill with all its equipment and land was bought by master miller Jacob Schmidt for 1000 thalers from his stepfather. The purchase was confirmed in 1789 by the highest confirmation of the Pomeranian War and Domain Chamber. Until 1810, all farmers of the Pudagla domain had to grind their grain at the mill. The last grinding took place in 1937. Since then, the mill had been unused. The mill remained in the possession of the Schmidt family until 1996. Finally, the mill was handed over to the municipality of Pudagla, as the condition of the mill continued to deteriorate. In April 1997, the mill was completely dismantled and the usable parts were numbered. These were then transported and restored. Finally, the mill was rebuilt. In 2019, the mill was renovated again, during which the cross-shaft damaged by core rot was also replaced.[1][2][3] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bockwindm%C3%BChle_Pudagla

The nave has a wooden beam ceiling. This is separated from the vaulted ceiling of the choir by a narrow triumphal arch. The organ is located on a wooden west gallery. One of the original two medieval bells has been preserved. The other was confiscated in 1942 as a metal donation. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirche_Stolpe_auf_Usedom
