History and architecture

The church is a large flat-roofed stone church with a rectangular floor plan on a sloping base and with a west tower the width of a ship, which was built in the middle to the second half of the 13th century. The high tower structure with hood and lantern was put on in 1735 and restored during a restoration with a color version based on findings; the south vestibule with stairs to the patron's box was built towards the end of the 17th century. All window openings have been changed to form a basket arch, the originally pointed arched portals and windows are partially walled up.

Furnishing

Inside there is a horseshoe-shaped gallery from the end of the 17th century, which was changed in 1773; the organ front with acanthus framing and figurative decoration dates from the same year . The main piece of equipment is an altarpiece from 1708, which was originally a pulpit altar and is now equipped with a picture of the Last Supper in the predella , a column-framed crucifixion painting from 1772 and carved acanthus cheeks. The coronation forms the eye of God in a glory of rays over a semicircular gable . The wooden pulpit dates from 1708, is now set up free-standing and provided with four subsequently attached evangelist reliefs from 1695.

A chest was created around 1820. A silver-gilt goblet with a paten dates from the beginning of the 16th century and has a later inscription from 1637. The pewter candlesticks were made in the early 18th century. A porcelain jug with a tin lid was made in the second half of the 18th century. A bell was cast in 1664 by Christian Köckeritz from Stettin. The organ was a work by Christian Friedrich Voigt from 1773 with eight registers on a manual and pedal , which was stored by the company Mitteldeutscher Orgelbau A. Voigt around 1958 (after a reconstruction by Barnim Grüneberg around 1900 and looting in the Second World War) . In 2011, an organ from 1905 was acquired by Alfred Reiser and inaugurated.
