History and architecture

The Passow village church is a rectangular field stone hall from the second half of the 13th century. The roughly ship-wide west tower substructure was probably shortened and renewed after the Thirty Years' War in irregular masonry, the boarded top is provided with an octagonal lantern from 1822. The sacristy in the southeast was converted into an hereditary burial in the 18th century, and the windows were extended downwards in the 19th century. The church was restored in 1959. In the north there are two walled-up pointed arch portals. At the northeast corner there is a group window made up of two lancets and a circular window in a pointed arch screen; the left window is shortened by the access to the former patron s lodge that cuts into the panel . In the east wall there is a round arch panel made of brick with a staggered group of three windows, panel and central window with inlaid round rod, in the gable there are two rows of narrow round arch panels.

The interior is covered by a wooden ceiling divided into squares by beams. A two-storey horseshoe gallery was built in the west in the second half of the 19th century.

Furnishing

The main piece of equipment is a large, artistically valuable carved altar from the beginning of the 16th century, which may have been influenced by the Lübeck master of the altar of St. Mary's in Prenzlau . In the years 1993–1998 three figures were restored. In the middle shrine Mary is with the child from selbdritt Anna and John the Baptist located in the wings in two rows, the parent groups of three apostles in the predella of St. George with eleven female saints. All figures are attached under tendril veils, under the sculptures on the inside wall of the shrine there are signatures that indicate the outline and posture. On the back of the wing there are four paintings of the Passion of Christ, as the crowning is a group of crucifixions framed in white.

The wooden pulpit with corner pillars on the polygonal basket and sound cover dates from the first quarter of the 17th century and was later disfigured by a gray paint job. The baptismal font made of clay with a shell-shaped basin on a foot decorated with foliage comes from the second half of the 19th century. The organ was originally a work by Joachim Wagner from 1744/45, the organ front is decorated with carved cheeks and putti from the second half of the 18th century, a second part of the front was used as a gallery parapet. It was replaced around 1865 using the baroque prospectus by a work by Friedrich Wilhelm Kaltschmidt with nine stops on a manual and pedal .

A silver gilded chalice and a paten date from 1694. A pair of brass candlesticks was made at the end of the 17th century. The cast iron altar crucifix dates from the first half of the 19th century.
