Sommerstorf village church
The village church in Sommerstorf , a district of Grabowhöfe in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , is a Gothic brick building on a field stone base from around 1300.

Up until the Thirty Years' War , Sommerstorf had its own parish office, after which the parish was a branch of Vielist . The most famous baptized person in the church is the poet Johann Heinrich Voss (1751–1826).
The interior of the nave has two bays with ribbed vaults . The east gable shows pointed arches and cross panels on the outside . The vestibule also has a screen gable .
The baroque pulpit altar dates from the late 18th century. It is adorned with 13 carved figures of Christ and the 12 apostles , which come from an older altar from around 1500. The furnishings also include an offering box from the 17th century. Of the original three bells, a bronze bell from 1893, cast by C. Oberg, has survived.
