history
The church village of Verchiezere was first mentioned in a document in 1186. The Bishop of Brandenburg confirmed extensive property ownership to the cathedral chapter in the document. Parts of it were the Hohenferchesars church, which belonged to the Burgward Pritzerbe. It was a predecessor of today's church.
The current village church was consecrated in 1831 after the previous building burned down completely on March 29, 1827. In 1950, a lightning strike caused considerable damage to the structure, which could be repaired by 1951.
