history and culture in Woldegk

Woldegk is not only a place full of traditions, it also offers historical sights that make the past appear alive. The city church, built in the 13th century, was badly damaged in the Second World War and was later rebuilt. In addition, the city is surrounded by an impressive city wall, of which around 700 meters are still preserved. The Windmühlen Museum has made a name for itself, not only because of the Dutchwindmühle, which was built in 1859, but also as a place of encounter and culture where regional products are offered. A café and a pension in part of the mill invite visitors to immerse yourself in the pleasant atmosphere.

The historical backdrop of Woldegks, which is shaped by the memories of earlier times, creates the perfect setting for the upcoming celebrations. A committed team of volunteers works to successfully complete the preparations so that this celebration, which takes place only once in a quarter of a century, becomes an unforgettable experience for everyone.
