The church door was closed. But the cemetery around it is a wonder. The tools hang at the entrance on a board. You can see the work in them. Unfortunately, I didn't meet the person, but I respectfully accepted the invitation to visit.

The medieval village church, with its rich Baroque interior, still contains elements dating back to the mid-13th century. However, it was renovated and altered in 1760. The church contains three gravestones of members of the old Mecklenburg noble family of Maltzahn. Dating back to 1227, the church is in good condition thanks to restoration in the late 1980s. Among the church's special features are the richly decorated pulpit altar and the Grüneberg organ, built around 1850.

While the previous bridge was made of wood, the current one is a steel-concrete construction with two arched passageways for boats.

Demmin is an underrated small town. A detour is highly recommended for anyone travelling through Mecklenburg Switzerland. From the north, the town is practically the gateway to this region. During and after World War II, the town's citizens had to endure a lot of destruction. Despite this, enough substance and structure has been preserved and has been maintained in recent years to give an idea of how rich the town is in culture and history. The old warehouses at the port on the Peene River are examples of this and are a fantastic feature of the townscape. The same applies to the church and the medieval parcelling of the town centre.
