Discover Seehausen: Church, Ucker Lakes and Historic Traces

Seehausen combines the landscape of Lake Oberuckersee with remarkable traces of regional history. The linear village lies directly on a side arm of the northern part of Lake Oberuckersee. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Seehausen will find a place where nature experiences, culture and excursions in the Uckermark can be combined.

Half-timbered church and notable historical evidence

A defining destination in the village is the Seehausen parish church, completed in 1753. It is one of the rare half-timbered churches in the Uckermark. Inside is a three-part altarpiece richly decorated with Renaissance ornaments and dated to the period between 1560 and 1580. For visitors interested in culture, the church is therefore a specific reason to get to know Seehausen not only as a starting point for activities but also as a historic place.

Further historical connections lead to the Marienwerder peninsula. It was once connected to the Burgwall Island in Lake Oberuckersee by a covered wooden bridge. South of Seehausen, the former Marienwerder Cistercian convent was also located on the Monastery Peninsula. Archaeological finds from the site, including the largest contiguous collection of pilgrim badges, can be viewed at the Cultural History Museum of the Dominican Monastery in Prenzlau. A stay in Seehausen can thus also be complemented by a museum visit and an exploration of the medieval past of the surrounding area.

Cycling excursions and experiences for children

Those who want to actively explore the Ucker Lakes can include the “Tour around the Ucker Lakes” cycle route in their plans. The route passes through Seehausen and is signposted with a route marker on a white background featuring blue waves. This gives cyclists clear guidance when choosing how to spend their day, without requiring a specific travel duration or level of difficulty.

Guided pony rides are offered at Seehausen Pony Farm for children aged three and over. Participation is possible only by prior telephone arrangement. Families can therefore plan this activity specifically in advance and combine their stay with a cultural discovery, a cycling tour or an excursion into the countryside.

Getting there and choosing accommodation

Seehausen can be reached by train from the direction of Berlin and Stralsund. An information board beside the road in Seehausen, near the railway station, explains the history of the Angermünde–Stralsund Railway, which is among the oldest railway lines in Brandenburg and Western Pomerania. The historical connection therefore concerns the information board and the railway it explains.

When looking for a holiday apartment in Seehausen, you can consider which focus suits your trip: the landscape along the side arm and Lake Oberuckersee, the half-timbered church, the historical traces of Marienwerder, the signposted lake tour or a planned pony ride. The various options allow for varied daily planning, while Seehausen itself provides a shared starting point for cultural and active holiday days.
