The earliest parts of the early Gothic , single-nave church dates from the 14th century and was built from field and brick and later extended by two yokes. Presumably there was a previous building made of wood. It is a building with a massive west tower. The neo-Gothic altarpiece was removed during renovation work in 1950. The three-part glass window by Lothar Mannewitz is interesting . It addresses the resurrection of Christ. The church was renovated from 1994 to 1997. In 2000/2001 restoration work followed on the Gothic side altar and the Frisian organ .
The 19th century train station in Teschow is a listed building.
