The Gülzowshof church is located in the Gülzowshof district of the city of Loitz . It has been part of the Demmin Propstei in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany since 2012 . Before that she belonged to the Demmin parish of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church .

An earlier building was looted and devastated during the Thirty Years War . Sutlers from the troops of General Matthias Gallas are said to have sold the bells of the church in Rostock . In 1694 the church tower collapsed.

In 1841 a new building was built. This brick building was closed at right angles, with an arched vestibule on the west gable and a small tower in the middle of the gable.

The current building was completed in 1900. Organ and church stalls come from the previous building. The west tower is structured by screens and a cornice below the sound openings of the bells. Since 1997 the ringing has consisted of three bells again. The four-sided, slightly retracted pointed helmet has acute-angled triangular gables on the west and east sides, each with a clock face of the tower clock. The retracted choir has a right-angled end. The risen Jesus Christ is depicted in a round window .
