The Church in Bargischow (2005)

The Bargischow Church is a church built around 1300 in the municipality of Bargischow in Western Pomerania .

The tile-roofed hall church with its rectangular choir was built around 1300 from layered field stones. The western steeple is more recent. A south vestibule was added to the choir, and remains of the base of the broken sacristy can be seen on the north wall of the choir . Individual architectural elements are made of brick . The choir gable has two-part panels with pointed arches and angled lintels over a toothed frieze . The windows are partly basket-shaped, partly ogival arched with chamfered walls.

During the Thirty Years' War the church was destroyed and rebuilt around the third third of the 17th century, with the upper floors of the tower also being built from half-timbering; the upper storey is retracted and has an eight-sided pointed helmet covered with slate . The wooden ceiling with painted acanthus ornaments also dates from the 18th century. In 1877 the church was restored.

The flat-roofed interior has a medieval altar made of mixed masonry with a pointed and keel arch niche; the altar enclosure with openwork parapet and tracery forms dates from 1877. The pulpit with pillars and carved mask heads also dates from the 19th century . The pulpit is decorated with neo-Gothic parapets with clover-leaf arches. A painting in the church shows the crucifixion of Christ . The stalls are from 1877, the octagonal font from 1932. The organ with the three-part neo-Gothic prospect was made in 1877 by Barnim Grüneberg from Stettin; it is currently not playable.

The only bell in the church was made in 1769 by Johann Heinrich Scheel from Stettin.

The churchyard is bordered by a dry stone wall.

The Protestant parish of Anklam has been part of the Pasewalk Propstei in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany since 2012 . Before that she belonged to the Greifswald parish of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church .
