The Evangelical village church Felchow is an early Gothic stone church in the Felchow district of Schöneberg in the Uckermark district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the Schwedt parish in the Uckermark parish of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia and can be visited by appointment.

History and architecture

The Felchow village church is a flat-roofed rectangular field stone building with a retracted rectangular choir and a ship-wide west tower from the second half of the 13th century; the tower top is decorated with corner pilaster strips with recessed mirror surfaces and tower clocks under a curved roof (similar to the tower top in Kerkow ) from the 2nd half of the 18th century. The end of the tower was replaced in 1973 by the tent roof that existed until 2019. Three ogival portals and the original windows have been preserved in the east wall, among other things, the other windows have been enlarged to make them round. Inside, the nave is connected to the choir by a pointed triumphal arch . The building is covered inside with a beamed ceiling. A restoration was carried out in 1965/66. There are two sacrament niches in the east wall . The tower closure was restored in 2019.

Furnishing

The retable from 1595 with colored carved figures stands on a medieval altar block . In the middle, next to an unmounted crucifix from the 1980s, it shows two prophets, in the wings the birth and baptism of Christ, above a pelican and phoenix and in the predella a relief of the Lord's Supper.

A wooden pulpit from 1630 was originally carried by Moses and four floating angels; on the polygonal basket there are figure niches with four apostles and two further apostles in similar niches flanked by herms on the stringer between corner pillars . A well-designed wooden baptismal angel from 1732 by Heinrich Bernhard Hattenkerell from Morin / Neumark is hung under a carved tondo with an eye of God, an angel cloud and a halo.

Prospectuses from the end of the 16th and the end of the 17th century are decorated with diamond-coated arched arcades. The west gallery with baluster grille dates from the end of the 17th century. Most of the glazing from 1905 has been preserved.

A pair of pewter candlesticks dates from 1691. A bell from 1521 was probably cast by the master of the Barbara bell in Eberswalde, another from 1555 was made by Joachim Mei from Stettin.
