History and architecture

View from west with churchyard linden tree

The village church in Slate is a single-nave brick building from the last quarter of the 14th century with a choir of the same width, which closes in three sides of a hexagon. The building shows stepped buttresses and narrow, coupled round arched windows in segment-arched panels that are pointedly arched in the choir. The mighty, square west tower made of mixed masonry made of field and brick is estimated to date from the first half of the 15th century and shows simple decoration on the upper floor and a hipped roof as a conclusion.

The flat-roofed nave opens in a round-arched triumphal arch to the rib-vaulted choir. The structure is accessed from the west through a pointed arch portal with glazed shaped stones in the wall .

In front of the church is a linden tree planted in 1733, which is recognized as a natural monument.

Furnishing

An artistically valuable carved altar from the end of the 15th century shows the Mother of God in a rosary in the middle shrine with the tools of Christ's passion , flanked by the adoration of the kings and Anna herself . A second wing was lost. This altar shows parallels to the rosary altars in the churches in Frauenmark , Gischow and in the Marienkirche Parchim .
