Ganschendorf Church

The Ganschendorf Church is a neo-Gothic church building in the Ganschendorf district of the municipality of Sarow in the Mecklenburg Lake District . The church belongs to the parish of Beggerow and since 2012 to the provost Demmin in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany . Before that she belonged to the Demmin parish of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church .

The church was built at the end of the 19th century on the site of a previous building. This was a boulder building from the end of the 16th century. The semicircular closed choir room had small, high windows. The walls of the wooden church tower were slightly sloped. The tower had an octagonal, strongly drawn-in, slate-covered pyramid point .

The present church was rebuilt after the old dilapidated building was torn down. The church was consecrated in 1896.

The bell in the tower dates from 1517.

The roof of the church was renewed in 2004. In the same year, renovations were carried out on the inside based on old models. To the north-east of the church is a burial place for members of the von Maltzahn family, who owned the estate . A memorial stone was erected there for the last owner of the Ganschendorf estate, Falk Freiherr von Maltzahn, who was arrested in 1945 after the invasion of the Red Army and died shortly afterwards in a camp near Thorn .
