location
The federal highway 102 leads from the north in a southerly direction through the place. In the center of the village, it makes an S-shaped curve to the west. From it branch off to the west on Landstrasse 941 and Bäckerstrasse to the north-northwest. The church stands north of the S-shaped curve on a plot of land with a church cemetery , which is enclosed by a wall made of unhewn and non-layered field stones .
history
The structure was erected in 1910. The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) suspects, however, that a medieval predecessor building was included.
Building description
The church was essentially made of bricks , which were then plastered . The choir is strongly drawn in and has a five-eighth ending . At the end of the choir there is a small, ogival panel , in the fields to the north and south there is an ogival window.
This is followed by the nave to the west . It has a rectangular floor plan and a simple gate on the north side of the east wall. The north wall of the nave is comparatively simple. Here are four tall and narrow lancet windows, the reveal of which is emphasized again with white plaster. On the south side there are three of these windows in the eastern area. The one to the west is set high; underneath another, much smaller and pressed segment arch-shaped window.
On the north side is a small, rectangular extension that can be entered from the south through a porch. On the west wall is an ogival window; a quatrefoil on the north wall and a bat dormer in the roof . In the western area of the ship there is a rectangular tower made of timber. On the west and east side there are two rectangular sound arcades , on the north and south side there is a rectangular sound arcade . Above it is an octagonal spire with a roof top, which ends with a tower ball and weather vane .
Furnishing
The church furnishings essentially come from the time the church was built. Only the fifth made of sandstone came into the parish in the middle of the 19th century. The octagonal, cup-shaped work from 1663 was a foundation for the Church of St. Marien in Bad Belzig.
The organ was built by Albert Hollenbach in 1903. The instrument has two manuals and a pedal . Work was carried out on the instrument in 1928 by the Alexander Schuke Potsdam Orgelbau company and in 1974 by the Mitteldeutsche Orgelbau A. Voigt .
