The Protestant village church Buckow is a Gothic brick church in the Buckow district of Nennhausen in the Havelland district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the parish Nennhausen in the parish of Nauen-Rathenow of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia and is an open church .

History and architecture

The church, which was built as a pilgrimage church in the first half of the 14th century , is a single-nave brick building with a square-shaped west tower built into the nave, which has been modified several times and has a diagonal gable roof. A retracted choir or possibly a chapel on the east wall was demolished during a renovation in the late Gothic period. In the years 1679 to 1681 the church was renovated with partial changes to the windows.

In 2007 a sale of the church was considered. An association tries to preserve and use the church for sacred and cultural purposes.

The nave is structured on the outside, similar to the Petri Chapel in Brandenburg, with a regular alternation between pointed arches and wide lancet windows of the same height. While the panels have a straight reveal , the windows originally had a sloping reveal. Portals facing each other are arranged slightly to the west of the center of the side walls. The southern one is pressed in an ogival shape with a three-quarter bar profile in the garment under an eyelash ; the north walled one shows an alternation between glazed and unglazed bricks and probably comes from the late Gothic period. The diagonally placed corner buttresses, the round-arched panel structure of the west facade and the two high pillar gables with pinnacles also date from the late Gothic period. On the east wall, the walled-up triumphal arch to the east extension and traces of a sacristy that was added around 1730, but has since been demolished, can be seen.

Inside, the basement of the tower , which had been prepared for a cross vault , was originally opened to the nave in a high pointed arch. The longitudinal walls of the ship are provided with two-zone panels; the upper, wider panels each combine two windows. The rising panels in the upper area of ​​the east wall are overlapped by the beamed ceiling that was drawn in between 1679 and 1681, which probably replaced an older wooden barrel vault.

Furnishing

The main piece of equipment is a richly decorated pulpit altar from 1730, which stands in front of a simple east gallery. It shows a structure with double columns and acanthus cheeks , foliage on the polygonal basket of the pulpit, two trumpet angels and a ray glory on the gable and resembles the altars of the churches in Bamme, Gräningen and Liepe, which also belong to Nennhausen as districts.

A graceful baptismal font on a winding column was created in 1734 by Christoff Frentsche from Ketzin / Havel . The west gallery, the patronage stalls with baluster parapets and the box stalls in the nave with ornamental attachments also date from the same period .
