History and architecture

The church was consecrated to Saints Nicholas, Mauritius and Elisabeth in 1288. The builders were the Levitzows on Lunow . The choir is in Feldstein built the ship from brick was in the 14th century with a strong angulation added. During the renovation in 1690 a new altar wall was installed and the pulpit was newly decorated. The building was restored in 1871 and redesigned in a neo-Gothic style. The three-window group is made of brick, the lancet windows are in plaster bottles. In the choir , a dome-shaped ribbed vault is drawn in over pressed shield arches. During renovation work in 1987, paintings from the 14th century came to light on the ceiling in the chancel.

To the origin of the church

Until 1861 little was known about the history of the church, but then during a renovation the altar table was torn down and a turned wooden box, which was painted red, was found. Relics of the church saints wrapped in rags, albeit already disintegrated, were discovered. The box also contained a small parchment document from Bishop Hermann von Camin, who lived from 1252 to 1288. The seal is well preserved, but separated from the certificate by mold. Since the box is too small for the seal, the signatures are severely cropped. The seal shows a bishop in a sitting position, his right hand raised in blessing and a crook in his left hand. The translated transcription reads: Hermann, by God's grace, Bishop of the Church of Camin . The translated text of the founding document says: In the year of the Lord 1288, on the 2nd day after the day of Boniface, this altar was consecrated by the venerable father - Hermann Bishop of Camin in honor of St. Nicolaus Mauritius, Elisabeth and the other saints, whose relics are included .

tower

On August 17, 1693, a storm destroyed the upper part of the tower , which was rebuilt the following year by a master carpenter. Another storm in 1739 threw the spire down and it was raised again. In June 1905, lightning struck the wooden church tower and it burned down. The bells were also destroyed. The Weule company built a tower clock in 1921. In 1911, the Stubbe company from Gnoien started building a brick tower on the west side; the church is accessible through an entrance. Because of the First World War , the work could not be completed until 1915. The brick tower is crowned with a lantern , the slate covering was renewed in 1975. The tower has a height of 34 meters.

Furnishing

  • The pulpit with carved figures of the evangelists is probably a work from around 1700.
