The Protestant half-timbered church Waldow is a listed church building in Waldow / Brand , a district of Schönwald in the Dahme-Spreewald district ( Brandenburg ).

History and architecture

It is not known how long a church building has stood in the village; the local pastors have been listed by name since 1603. Church registers have been kept since 1669.

The village church was built as a half-timbered building around 1709 according to a dating on the south portal under the patronage of the von Stutterheim family . The rectangular half-timbered building closes with a three-sided east choir . The porch for the patronage box stands over a crypt in the axis of the northern front. The wooden ceiling in the interior is flat arched and decorated with the image of a sun. Diamond-shaped tiles with a side length of 27 cm form the floor covering. The boarded-up west tower stands on a square plan in the middle of the western front. It is covered with a hipped roof and was added later. The inscription JF Waldow / 1882 has been preserved in the weather vane crowning the tower ; it indicates a renovation under the patron Julius Fuhrmann. The walls are structured by high segment arched windows with bars. The portal doors have two leaves. The baroque ceiling painting is worth mentioning. The building was extensively renovated from 1989 to 1990.

The church belongs to the parish Dahme-Berste-Land in the parish of Niederlausitz of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .
