In Warnemünde, the church has stood in the centre of the town for over a hundred years. It is a place of peace and devotion for the congregation and many guests. But it has also provided protection from floods. The maritime flair is shown by the special votive ships inside.
Since Warnemünde has rapidly developed into a major cruise port, more and more tourists from all over the world come to the church. Especially in the season, guided tours and a variety of church music events take place almost daily.
The neo-Gothic church in the centre of the seaside resort was built between 1866 and 1871. Precious furnishings: carved altar (1475), the Renaissance pulpit (1591) and the statue of St. Christopher.
