history
The church was built in 1732 at the instigation of the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I by the surveyor Friedrich August Fiedler . A baroque plastered brick building was created, the four wings of which are arranged in the shape of a Greek cross. At the intersection of the wings there is a wooden tower made up of two octagonal lanterns and a high spire. The front walls of the cross arms are each provided with a sandstone-framed portal and three segmented arched windows. The four hipped gable roofs of the cross arms are covered with red tiles, while the tower is slated in. In the eastern cross arm there is a pulpit altar , framed by two composite columns and with a bulging, multi-sided pulpit basket . To the side of him is a painting by the painter Fridrich Grismeyer with the Last Supper scene . In the west wing is the glazed and elaborately decorated former patronage box . The organ (2 manuals / 12 registers ), created in 1885 by organ builder Albert Hollenbach from Neuruppin , has a round-arched prospectus . The chalice-shaped baptismal font made of sandstone with the donor date of 1676 comes from the previous church .
