BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH:
If you travel through the north of Saxony-Anhalt, you are sure to notice the many village churches. The Altmark is also a land of churches and monasteries – almost every town and village still has a church. With around 400 impressive buildings, the Altmark has the highest density of fieldstone and brick churches in Saxony-Anhalt. An overview or small brochure about the various churches and monasteries in the Altmark is available from all the tourist information offices in the towns and municipalities. We also have copies for you to take away here at the hotel.
