history
Presumably there were two previous buildings of today's church. A wooden church was built around 1200, the next church was built on field stone foundations. This was revealed by excavations in 1997 and 2004. The present church goes back to a building from the 13th or 14th century. This church burned down in the Thirty Years War and was rebuilt from 1682 to 1692. In 1816 the manor was sold to Otto von Armin-Gerswalde. This had the village relocated around 500 meters to the northeast. This is how the church came to be unique in the manor park. The church was significantly rebuilt from 1830 to 1833. The half-timbered tower and the stepped gable date from this time. The church was renovated in 1913, 1968 and from 2003 to 2006. The basis of the listed repairs and color reconstruction from 2003 to 2006 were the restoration examinations, condition examinations, structural engineering and building historical examinations, building research, construction time mapping, the recommended measures and the accompanying restoration support of the Graduate restorer Gottfried Grafe.
The church
The church is a hall building with a rectangular floor plan of about 19 meters by 10 meters. The masonry is essentially made of field stone and plastered. The facade is only weakly structured by corner pilasters, an eaves cornice and frames around the windows and doors. The neo-Gothic stepped gable on the east side is characteristic of the facade and the church. At the east end and the main sides there are three windows with pointed arches. The entrance to the church is on the south side, the landlords entered the church from the north. The half-timbered tower is on the western side. The tower is closed by a pointed helmet, on which there is a knob and a weather vane. The pommel and weather vane with the year 1692 are gilded.
The interior is essentially in the baroque style and comes from the reconstruction at the end of the 17th century / beginning of the 18th century and the renovations from 1830 to 1833 and 1913. The furnishings are white, the decor is golden. The pulpit altar was made in 1713 by Christian Kiel from Oderberg. There are twisted pillars on the sides of the pulpit, the pulpit is five-sided. On the also five-sided sound cover there is a risen Christ. A figure of Christ, created by the Dane Bertel Thorvaldsen , is behind the altar. It was previously in the mausoleum. The sandstone baptism was created with the pewter baptismal bowl in 1668. The organ originally stood in the Altglienicke parish church in Berlin-Altglienicke, it was brought here in 1894. The organ builder was Wilhelm Remler from Berlin. The organ has eight registers and a three-part prospectus. The older bell probably dates from the 15th century and was cast from bronze.
mausoleum
The mausoleum is on the west side of the church. The mausoleum was built from 1856 to 1857 in the Tudor Gothic style . It was the burial place of the von Arnim-Criewen family, there were nine coffins here. All coffins were reburied in the patronage cemetery. It is a rectangular plastered building with a gable roof. On the northern side there is the entrance with a staircase in front, on the western side there are three windows of the same type with ornaments, on the southern side there are two windows with pictures. The five leaded glass windows were created by Ferdinand Ulrich from the Royal Institute for Glass Painting in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1856.
