Discover Kummerow: School and Castle

Kummerow is part of the municipality of Niepars. Among the village’s notable historic buildings are an old Pomeranian school at the village entrance and a privately owned castle. The municipality of Niepars lies along the tourist route between the Rügen and Darß regions, connected via Stralsund and Barth. This places Kummerow’s specific location within a broader regional context.

School and Castle in Kummerow

The old Pomeranian school, with its small pointed turrets, stands at the village entrance. It is considered a sight and is privately owned. If you are planning a visit, check in advance what options are available.

The castle is also privately owned. It was built in 1912 and later used as a convalescent home, a school and a kindergarten. It was subsequently reconstructed and modernised. A park adjoins the building. The succession of uses gives the castle’s history particular depth: after its construction, it served a variety of social and educational purposes before the building was renovated. If you are considering a visit, check the current options in advance.

If you are planning a trip beyond Kummerow, the municipality of Niepars also offers opportunities for hiking and cycling along the Bodden waters. Visitors can register at riding stables.

Niepars is also home to a two-aisled brick church dating from the 13th century. Inside the church is a chalice-shaped granite baptismal font from the 14th century. In 1867, it received an organ from the Stralsund workshop of Friedrich Albert Mehmel. The church is surrounded by a cemetery, and a small burial chapel stands at the southern entrance. The building, its furnishings and later additions trace several centuries of local history. The dilapidated church tower was dismantled in the 18th century. Thus, alongside the font and organ, the removal of one of the building’s features also shapes the history of the village church. In the municipality of Niepars, Kummerow Castle and the church in Niepars represent two widely separated building periods: the castle was built in 1912, while the church dates from the 13th century. The architectural history thus spans several centuries.

Near the church in Niepars, a small pond with seating offers a place to take a break. This means that in this part of the wider destination, a simple place to pause sits alongside the church’s historic features.
