history
The first mention of a priest for Stolpe comes from the year 1218. In 1867 the village's medieval church was badly damaged by lightning . A new church was built according to a design by master bricklayer Zaeske from Usedom and consecrated in 1871. The community had to go into debt for this. The woodwork inside was carried out by craftsmen from Stolpe and Gummlin. The church in Krummin bought the organ used around 1863 .
The church tower was renewed in 1873. The medieval lower part was rebuilt.
building
The church was built as a rectangular neo-Gothic brick building on a field stone base . It has a recessed polygonal choir with a pointed arch window. A console frieze runs below the eaves on the choir and nave and on the west tower as a cornice . The indented west tower with the portal has a rectangular floor plan and a polygonal pyramid helmet .
Furnishing
The nave has a wooden beam ceiling. This is separated from the vaulted ceiling of the choir by a narrow triumphal arch . The organ is on a wooden west gallery .
One of the originally two medieval bells has been preserved. The other was collected in 1942 as a metal levy.
