history

With the first documentary mention of Missen in the church articles of the diocese of Meißen from 1346, of which only a copy from 1495 has been preserved, a church in Missen is also mentioned. This building was later replaced by a half-timbered church . After this had become dilapidated over time, the Missen community applied for a new church to be built at the church headquarters in Berlin in January 1880. After enough money had been raised for the construction, the old church was demolished and construction of the current church began in 1885. The cost of building was around 14,400 Reichsmarks . The new church was consecrated on March 2, 1887.

Today's village church is a rectangular hall building in the neo-Gothic style . On the east side the church is closed by a five-sided east end, on the other side there is a slender west tower . The church is made of clinker masonry . On the sides of the nave and at the east end there are high pointed arch windows. There is an entrance portal on the west tower, another with a vestibule is on the south side of the church facing the street. In the church there is an organ from the construction time of the building, which was built by Wilhelm Sauer .

In the 19th century the parish of Missen belonged to the Superintendententur Calau. Later the community belonged to the parish of Vetschau and thus initially to the parish of Calau. In 1961 the church district of Calau was merged with the church district of Lübben and initially referred to as the church district of Lübben-Calau, in 1998 the name was changed to the church district of Lübben. The parish of Missen was later dissolved and merged with the parish of Ogrosen to form the new parish of Gräbendorfer See. This has been part of the Niederlausitz church district since 2010.
