Churches

St. Andrew's Church at Rappin is the Protestant parish church of the parish of Neuenkirchen in the north of the Muttland of the Island of Rügen.

The church of St. Andrew in Rappin was first mentioned in a document in 1305. Its construction was probably begun in the second half of the 13th century. This makes it one of the oldest churches on the Island of Rügen. The church received its present form around 1400. The original wooden bell tower collapsed in 1626. As a replacement, a wooden belfry was erected southwest of the church in 1635. The chancel and nave were restored to their original colors between 1996 and 1999. The larger of the two bells was melted down during World War I, and a new second bell was consecrated in April 2010. The altarpiece dates back to 1669, the pulpit to 1702, made of pine wood. The oldest piece in St. Andrew's Church is the medieval baptismal font made of Gothic limestone. It dates back to the second half of the 13th century. The walls and ceiling are painted with medieval consecration crosses and simple tendrils. These beautiful paintings have been renovated in recent years. The organ was built in 1859 by the Gotha organ builder Guido Knauf.
