History and architecture
The Gammelin village church is a simple, flat-roofed brick hall with a three-sided east end, which was probably built at the beginning of the 15th century. It is prepared with arches and buttresses for a vault in two yokes. Coupled windows in pointed arches illuminate the building. The western tower, which dates from the 15th century and has a pointed arch portal, was removed down to the ground floor around 1730 and the western gable was renewed around 1880. Portals in the north and south were later walled up.
Furnishing
The main part of the equipment is a column-flanked, two-storey, wooden altarpiece from around 1700. The paintings show the crucifixion and in the predella the entombment of Christ with a Bible verse. Carved figures of the evangelists John and Mark are set up on the side. The coats of arms of the von Francken / von Deyinck families are attached to the base, angels seated on the cornice, the eye of God as a triangle in the gable , and the triumphant Christ with victory flag flanked by two standing angels putti in the crown . The wooden pulpit dates from around the same time.
An artistically valuable baptism angel from the beginning of the 18th century, comparable to the one in the village church in Döbbersen , was restored in 2006 and partially supplemented. The tombstone with the coat of arms of the von Oertzen family in front of the altar from 1517 is framed by inscriptions and decorated with evangelist symbols in the corners.
A small bell from the 17th / 18th centuries hangs in the free-standing belfry. Century. In 1964, the congregation acquired a bell from 1918 from a Berlin church that was destroyed in 1945.
The organ with a three - part neo - Gothic prospect is a work by Johann Heinrich Runge from 1858 with five stops on one manual . The pedal (C – g 0 ) is firmly attached.
