History and architecture
The village church of Boitin is a simple hall church from the 14th century made of brick on a field stone base with two yokes on a rectangular floor plan. The deep ribbed vaults sit on stepped rectangular templates. The building is accessed through a heavily profiled portal in the west. On the south side there is another walled up portal, which is decorated with shaped bricks that show reliefs of dragons and lions. These shaped bricks are similar to those of the church in Steffenshagen , but are more delicate. Similar shaped bricks can be found on the east wall above the field stone base. The east gable is decorated with slim pointed arches. The west tower is made of wood and was dendrochronologically dated to 1494. There is an attached sacristy on the south side. Oversized buttresses support the east side of the church.
After the collapse of the western vaulted yoke on October 18, 1998, the church was secured in 2003 with the help of the Dorfkirchen in Not eV foundation . By 2008, the vault could be restored in its original form and with the space from 1893.
Furnishing
The altarpiece from 1860 by Gaston Lenthe depicts Christ in Gethsemane . The delightful wood-carved pulpit is dated to 1621.
In the nave there is a strongly renewed, all-round wall painting frieze at the level of the window sills from the end of the 14th century. It depicts the Passion , the Resurrection and the Ascension of Christ as well as the Coronation of Mary and the Last Judgment with saints and apostles.
The organ with four registers on a manual with attached pedal was built in 1978 by Gerhard Bohnenberger.
