Hohenselchow-Groß Pinnow: Village Church, Manor House and Summer Theatre

Hohenselchow-Groß Pinnow has several distinct sides: Hohenselchow lies on a ridge at the edge of the Lower Oder Valley National Park, while the village church in Groß Pinnow is a historic focal point. The area also includes a listed manor house complex, a small summer theatre and a petting zoo. The sights are spread across Hohenselchow and Groß Pinnow, so pay attention to the stated location when choosing specific options.

Nature on the edge of the Lower Oder Valley

Hohenselchow lies on a ridge at the edge of the Lower Oder Valley National Park. The municipality is also home to the “Trockenrasen Groß Pinnow” FFH site, which covers around eight hectares. This nature description therefore spans two scales: Hohenselchow’s location by the national park and a specifically named, small-scale protected area within the municipality.

Village church and manor house

The village church in Groß Pinnow was rebuilt after the Thirty Years’ War, is considered a notable attraction and is listed. In Hohenselchow, the manor house with its outbuilding and the remains of the park are also listed. Different historical focal points thus come together: the story of a church’s reconstruction and a protected manor house complex.

Summer theatre and other experiences

A small summer theatre was created from an old storage hall in Hohenselchow, with a raised stage and nostalgic cinema benches.

The Senfkorn theatre group stages a summer comedy in the municipality each year, with around ten performances. If you would like to plan your stay around a performance, check the specific dates for your travel period.

There is also a petting zoo in Groß Pinnow, offering an experience for children. Alongside historical and cultural attractions, visitors can therefore choose a seasonal theatre event or an activity for children.

The Uckermark as a regional setting

Beyond Hohenselchow-Groß Pinnow, the Uckermark offers a broader landscape to explore. Uckermärkische Seen Nature Park lies amid the lake-rich, gently rolling Uckermark and encompasses clear-water lakes, kettle holes and bogs. The Uckermark has more than 500 lakes, as well as thousands of small ponds, kettle holes, bogs, streams and rivers.

The routes can be distinguished by their geographical scope: the nature park offers more than 150 kilometres of water trails and over 600 kilometres of signposted hiking trails; the Uckermark as a whole has 1,200 kilometres of designated hiking trails. If you are planning a trip around the wider region, you can choose between the water routes in the nature park and the Uckermark hiking network.

The Gramzow Railway Museum is also part of the region’s cultural offering. It displays historic railway vehicles from different periods, as well as exhibitions on track construction, workshop operations, railway operations and transport services. Technical equipment can be seen outdoors and inside buildings. On operating days, the museum railway offers rides on historic railway vehicles; you can also ride a draisine yourself. The museum thus combines exhibitions and technical equipment with opportunities to ride as a passenger or take the controls yourself.
