Wasserschloss Mellenthin - Benz

Probably there is a Kirchhoffriedhof with the construction of a first Feldsteinkapelle 1319 in mellenthin (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 20 km southeast of zinnowitz 25 km northeast of anklam) on the easternmost German Baltic Sea island used. this chapel was also for approx. 300 years the graves of the ritter w. new churches, which belonged to their irritated 1641 square and well mellenthin. around 1420 the chapel was transformed into the church. the church and the churchyard surrounded by a partly plastered brick wall are located on a small height at the place with its 700-year-old Stiel oak and the historical tomb is one of the regional sights on Useom. for several years the kirchhof friedhof is no longer used for any supplements. There are several old excavations from the 19th and the beginning of the 20th. century with the usual cast iron trenches. Most of the tooth has added, however, so that the inscriptions are not or are difficult to deciphered by grate and erosion. the churchyard with the old grave crosses makes a desperate, wild romantic impression of a lost place. Unfortunately, in recent years the kirchhof friedhof has been added some damage by vandalism and metal thieves.
