Gramzow Church
The Gramzow Church is a 13th century church building in the Gramzow district of the Krusenfelde community in Western Pomerania .
The large two-bay brick hall with a west tower of the same width was built in the middle of the 13th century. In 1795 the east gable was simplified, the upper floors of the tower demolished and the roof in the west hipped. In 1862 the massive vaults were replaced by wooden ones and the west portal and the windows were changed. The plastered northern extension with an embedded cross in the gable dates from the 20th century. There is a glazed bead on the base and the surrounding coffin cornice, and a tooth cut under the eaves . The walled-up south portal shows a cloverleaf arch. On the south wall there are incised marks in the masonry, some of which are sundials .
The interior of the church has a wooden cross rib vault . The wooden furnishings in neo-Gothic forms include an altar , altar enclosure, altar wall, pulpit , baptism , stalls, western gallery and an organ front, probably 1862, mainly with a four-leaf motif. The organ was made in 1862 by Barnim Grüneberg from Stettin. The baptismal font of granite dates from the 13th century. In the tower hall is the grave slab of Matthias Budde († 1591), Danish governor on Ösel (Saaremaa), with a bas-relief of the deceased, an inscription and a coat of arms.
The two bells date from 1450.
The Protestant parish has been part of the Pasewalk provost 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 .
