The von Manteuffel family had possessions there as early as 1320, which they were able to expand gradually. The dispute over the redemption of pledged goods with Joachim von Manteuffel auf Rattey in the then Stargard office was dealt with in 1621 by the Helmstedt Faculty of Law. In 1690 Lieutenant Colonel Georg Henning von Oertzen ad home Helpt was enfeoffed with Rattey by Duke Gustav Adolf von Mecklenburg-Güstrow in the event that the von Manteuffel family died out.

Building history

Entrance gate

The early Gothic stone building was erected in the second half of the 13th century, the wooden tower tower in the middle of the 16th century. The roof of the ship was renewed in 1581. For the tannery built on the north west side in the 15th century, the crypt was built from field stones and with a mansard roof in the 18th century .

Building description

The church interior is a flat-roofed hall. The stepped walls of the west portal are made of granite blocks . The two south portals and all windows are made of brick .

The outer

On the western side, a tower with a square shaft and plank formwork was built out of the church roof. The eight-sided, slate- covered pyramid helmet is covered in the medieval style with sides set over corners, so that the consoles above the middle of the square sides support the four protruding corners of the helmet. The roof structure of layd with clay tiles pitched roof is from a standing collar beam roof supported.

The entrance located on the west wall of the field stone church has been designed as a pointed arched double stepped return portal with granite stones. There is a circular window framed with a three-quarter round rod above the portal. On the east wall there is a broad, ogival brick profile with four-fold stepped profile as a round bar, cove and pear bar. The plastered gable triangle was enlivened with five narrow, growing blind niches with pointed arches. The two portals on the south side, the lay gate and the priest gate, are richly profiled with bricks and set half a stone in front of the field stone wall. The priest's gate has a slightly wider template with a semicircular bulge, which is framed with a conspicuously deep pointed arch. In the arch of the portal above, there is a circular blind niche with six-pass tracery. The same shaped stones can be found on the south portal of the Havelberg Cathedral . On each side of the windows, the first vaulted yoke has a slender slit window with a sloping, straight reveal. In the eastern vaulted yoke there is a baroque-style, flat-arched wooden window with leaded diamond glass on each side.

The inner

Inside, the nave is divided into two rectangular vaulted fields. The tower hall is opened to the hall through a wide arch, which was prepared with shield arches for two vaulted yokes. The vaults probably did not come to fruition. Today there is a straight, boarded beam ceiling.

Furnishing

  • The carved altar from the beginning of the 16th century is considered important. The rear wall is formed by a wood-carved shrine , probably made at the same time as the pulpit. In the horizontally subdivided shrine, an apocalyptic Madonna can be seen as the queen of heaven with angels on a radiant background. The lower lower half contains the group Anna Selbdritt , on the right King David playing the harp and on the left a bishop. Five of the reliefs in the wings show scenes from the Christmas story, one lost relief has been replaced by another with three figures of saints at the lower right. A beardless man with a beech tree in his left hand, a bearded bishop in great official costume, holding a staff in his left hand. The third, bareheaded and bearded, reads striding in a book that he is carrying in his right hand. These three saints probably did not belong to the original complex. The painting in the predella shows the five wise and the five foolish virgins. The frame of this shrine as well as the upper tower date from the beginning of the 18th century.
  • The simple wooden pulpit shows Renaissance style and is from the beginning of the 17th century. the tall, slender, octagonal trunk stands on a squat pillar with a bell-shaped transition link. The corners of the trunk are studded with fluted pilasters that have grown together on high pedestals . The profile of the base runs around the entire body of the pulpit. The lid is supported by a back wall with a coat of arms as arch filling. The inscription reads: Otto von Manteuffel and Elsbet Lindstaedt had this pulpit built. The staircase and the sound cover are works from the beginning of the 18th century.
  • The parapet and the stalls were probably built in the 18th century.
  • The organ is a work by Carl August Buchholz from 1836 with seven stops on a manual and pedal .
