Altwustrow village church
The Altwustrow village church is a half-timbered church in the Altwustrow district of the Oderaue community in the Märkisch-Oderland district of Brandenburg .
It was built in 1789 as a towerless hall church with a half- hipped roof on a field stone foundation and inaugurated on October 18, 1789. The tower was built in 1832. The half-timbered facade was plastered for the first time between 1910 and 1920. In 1957 the plaster was renewed with lime cement mortar. The first major repairs to the church and tower roofs began in 1968. This work dragged on until 1979. In the course of this renovation work, a winter church was built in 1974 below the organ gallery with old church windows. Another external renovation took place in the years 2000 to 2005.
The interior of the church is richly furnished in contrast to the unadorned exterior. The pulpit altar , the gallery and the stalls date from the construction period. The baptismal angel dates from 1790. The hand-painted paper cover is very rare in northern Germany. The church was raised 15 cm in 2001 with the help of hydraulic jacks. It was restored until 2007. In 2013 the church was in need of renovation again.
