The parish in Werder was assigned to the Archdeaconate of Stolpe in 1308 . This is the oldest surviving mention. The current church was built around the 14th century. A baroque renovation was probably carried out in 1751, as indicated by an inscription on the outer wall.
The square western roof tower was built in 1890 according to plans by the architect Theodor Prüfer .
architecture
The church was built from field and brick . It has a three-sided, slightly indented east end. The plaster of the building has largely peeled off, and remnants of plaster blocks can still be seen at the corners . Above the south portal there is a relief of the von Walsleben family's coat of arms , including the inscription "ES vW / 1751".
There are four pointed dormer windows on the north and south sides of the roof, and another above the east end, with a conical pinnacle on the ridge and a roof pommel . Similar, but smaller, pointed dormers are located on the four sides of the pyramid roof of the tower spire .
