Bosau & St. Peter's Church
Bosau, Petrikirche
A small lakeside village on the southern shore of the Großer Plöner See, where the 12th-century St. Peter's Church is one of the oldest churches in Holstein.
Bosau lies on a peninsula on the southern shore of the Großer Plöner See and is one of the most photogenic villages in the lake district. Its St. Peter's Church was built in the 1150s, a Romanesque stone church raised during the Slavic missionary period under Bishop Vicelin. Inside are medieval murals and a carved wooden altar, and in summer the village hosts the Bosau Summer Concerts. The village has a pier, a lakeside bathing area and cafés. In summer you can reach it by Großer Plöner See boat from Plön, or cycle around the lake. It is about 10 km from Plön.
