history
Fresdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1375. Investigations on the building showed that the foundation of the church was built in 1724 on a previous building made of field stones . In the years 1852 to 1854 the enlarged church window, caught the west tower and replaced pieces of equipment. Another consecration took place on April 18, 1854. In 1899 the court carpenter Max André from Potsdam painted the building. In 1910 the steeple had to be renewed. In the tower ball , workers found some coins from the time of Frederick the Great . The painting was restored in 1993 and 1995 at the same time as the roof was renovated. In 2000 experts repaired the organ for 10,000 DM . In 2002 and 2003, residents from Fresdorf reconstructed the cemetery wall.

At the level of the eaves of the nave, there is a small window on each accessible side with a circular screen above . This is followed by a blunt pyramid roof with a roof turret, in which a sound arcade can be seen on each side . Another, steeper pyramid roof with a tower ball and cross follows .

The area is enclosed by a brick wall. A memorial commemorates the fallen from World War II , a boulder to the local poet Hermann Thomas (1855–1931).
