building
After the town of Liepen was donated by the Pomeranian Duchess Ingardis, widow of Casimir II , to the Stolpe Monastery in 1222, construction of a church began soon. The hall church was built from field stone in the first half of the 13th century . The equally wide choir and the northern sacristy of brick were added recently. The south porch was probably built from field stone during the Baroque period . After the former half-timbered church tower burned down in 1884, the west tower with field stone substructure and brick upper floors was built in neo -Gothic style between 1885 and 1887 according to plans by Friedrich Adler from Berlin . The tower has an eight-sided, copper-clad pointed helmet. Quatrefoil were at the Giebelbekrönung of the tower and the sacristy fries and aperture jewelry of the choir gable taken up again. The chamfered walls of the partially paired ogival windows and the portals on the nave are made of brick.
There are flat ceilings over the nave and choir, the sacristy has a cross vault .
The churchyard has a round arched brick portal from the 16th century.
Furnishing
The pulpit with reliefs of the evangelists dates from the first half of the 17th century, the sound cover from the 18th century. The pulpit is on a stone console above the altar hall . Reliefs of the apostle Peter , Jesus Christ and Adam from the 17th century are located at the pulpit. The carved, dismantled reredos dates from the beginning of the 16th century .
