The Church of St. Nicholas, built today of fieldstone and limestone, dates back to the Romanesque period. The west transept tower, dating from the late 12th century, is the only remaining part of the original fieldstone structure. The tower is covered with a gable roof and crowned by a flèche. Around 1400, a chapel dedicated to Mary was added, which today forms the southern transept of the church, now built on a cruciform ground plan. An eastward extension was added between 1569 and 1573. A major reconstruction took place in 1754/55. The addition of the northern transept completed the cruciform shape. At the same time, the height of the south transept walls was brought into line with the nave. A two-story sacristy was built on the south side of the rectangular chancel. The church's openings were designed in the Baroque style. Source: Wikipedia

Treading water once in a while is good. The next water-treading spot is near Schwiesau, by which time your feet will be warm again and ready for another run. ;)

The Chapel of St. George in Gardelegen was first documented in 1362 and was originally part of a hospital for contagious diseases outside the city fortifications. In 1734, it was renovated and expanded, with the original turret being replaced by a massive tower with a Baroque cap. A previously existing 16th-century carved altar depicting St. Anne the Self-Triumph was later transferred to St. Nicholas Church. After 1990, the chapel was converted for exhibitions and now houses a model of the town of Gardelegen around 1600. It also serves as a venue for cultural events such as concerts.
