It is one of the oldest preserved granite stone blocks in Western Pomerania . The building, which belongs to the Retzin parish in the Pasewalk priory of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany , stands in the middle of a cemetery surrounded by a stone wall. The brick cemetery portal is crowned with Fial attachments. It dates from the 15th century and is also a listed building.

History and architecture

Cemetery wall with portal

The early Gothic carefully executed stone church was built in the 13th century. The east gable is divided by three narrow windows, the niches above are framed with bricks. The gable tower in the west has a square floor plan and has been crowned with an octagonal, copper-covered roof since 1926; the lantern with a bell cover is closed. The weather vane was put on in 1726, and there are two corner turrets above the brick portal. The interior was originally provided with a flat ceiling made of wooden beams. Due to changes to the roof structure from 1979 to 1982, the ceiling was raised and rests on wooden supports.

Furnishing

The equipment was changed from 1979 to 1982.

  • Johann Heinrich Schmidt from Stettin cast the bell in 1724.
  • The stalls, the west gallery and the altar were built in during the renovation in 1980.
  • The basket of the former pulpit altar is a work from around the middle of the 17th century. The parapets are marbled, the corners are decorated with columns.

organ

The organ built Barnim Grüneberg from Stettin as Opus 258 in the period around 1850, it is equipped with a simple brochure. The basic substance of the instrument with wooden pipes, console, wind system and wind chests is almost completely preserved. The bellows is in the lower case of the organ, it is in very good condition with the original decoration. In the post-war period, all metal pipes were stolen; due to the poor supply situation in the GDR, they were replaced with parts from other organs. There are five stops on the manual and pedal; the mechanical cone chest organ has two stops for each manual stop. The wind chest is divided from csl and thus enables the organist to simulate two-manual operation despite the few registers. The organ was moved to the balustrade of the gallery around 1960, and a motor was installed at the same time. This supplies the instrument with the necessary wind through a duct system made of glued cardboard tubes. From 2012 Orgelbau Sauer cleaned the organ, reworked all functional parts and replaced the missing metal pipes. The original pipes in the prospectus were bronzed after being reworked.
