Village church Alt Plestlin

The village church Alt Plestlin is one of seven churches and chapels of the parish Jarmen - Tutow of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District . It is located in the Alt Plestlin district of the Bentzin community in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district .

The choir of the Alt Plestlin Church was probably built in the 14th or 15th century. The hall, which is only a little wider, and the substructure of the west tower were probably added later. In the 17th century the stone church was completely renovated. It received the segment-arched windows and portals with walls made of brick and a tiled roof hilted in the east. The square half-timbered tower with an octagonal slate-covered pointed helmet also dates from this time. In 1989 the framework was renewed . The substructure of the tower is plastered and has a wide west portal. One of the two bells was cast around 1500, the other in 1603.

There are pillars at the corners of the east gable of the choir. The choir windows are embedded in large niches.

During a renovation in 1842, the wooden flat ceiling was pulled in. The west gallery probably dates from the 17th century and was enlarged during the renovation. The pulpit altar was built around 1800. The body of a crucifix from around 1300 was combined with the figures of Mary and the Apostle John carved in the second half of the 14th century to form a crucifixion group. A figure of Mary with the child was carved in the 15th century.

The organ from 1890 comes from the workshop of the Stralsund organ builder Paul Mehmel . Its three-part prospectus is designed in neo-renaissance forms with round arches and fluted pilasters.
