location
Landstrasse 715 leads from the west to the historic village green and branches off in front of it to the north. In the curve, in turn, the village road runs onto the lenticular green, which extends in a north-west-south-east direction. There the church stands on a plot of land with a church cemetery , which is enclosed with a wall made of unhewn and non-layered field stones .
history
The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) states in its database that the church could have been built “around 1300 (?)”. It is certain that the church tower was built in 1887. The structure was restored in 1953.
Building description
The church was essentially built from fieldstones that were rarely hewn and only partially layered. The choir is straight and has not moved in; at the end of the choir the remains of an added three-window group can be seen . In the east gable is a small opening in the middle.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On the south side of the nave there are three large, " baroque " enlarged arched windows, the facings of which are provided with light-colored plaster . Below are two much smaller windows in the western area and a priest gate in the east , which is likely from the construction period.
The church tower is transversely rectangular, drawn in and was built from field and wall stones. It is stabilized by two buttresses at the western corners of the nave and can be entered from the west through a large portal. On the bell floor there are three sound arcades on the west and east sides, and two each on the north and south sides . There is also a tower clock in the gable. The transverse gable roof rises above it with a rider on top.
Furnishing
The wooden pulpit altar from 1768 consists of a column structure with carved cheeks, which are decorated with acanthus . Above it is a blown gable with a cloud glory and a triangle with three flames as a sign of the Trinity . The western gallery was built in the 17th century. On it is an organ by Johann Christoph Schröther the Younger from 1887 with a prospectus from 1824. The instrument with nine registers was restored in 1988 by Hartmut Rönnecke. The original wall painting could be exposed during a restoration and is reminiscent of a pearl gate.
