history
At Dargun there was an Elbe Slavic castle settlement at Rokitnitze mentioned in 1171 . A Cistercian abbey and the village of Wargun were built near this castle from 1172 .
In this village, an early Gothic Röcknitz village church, mentioned by Bishop Berno in 1178, was built as a field stone building in the 12th century . Parts of the field stone choir have been preserved.
In 1753 (date on the west wall, including the new sundial) the nave was renewed as a brick building. The rectangular single-nave church with a gable roof has an octagonal west tower as a kind of roof turret with a wooden, octagonal open baroque lantern . On the south and north sides a portal and three vertical-format windows, all with a Gothic pointed arch . The retracted, originally straight choir with a saddle roof was expanded in 1861 by an apse with a ribbed vault . On the north side is the square sacristy with domed cross rib vaults and a round arched portal to the choir. The vestibule is said to date from 1861. The tower was restored in 2003.
Inside
The late Gothic, gilded carved altar from around 1500 has a multi-figure crucifixion group , surrounded by four saints. The altar wings, which were restored in 2005, contain the 12 apostles . The outside of the wing is painted with four scenes from the life of Mary. The wooden, semicircular, baroque and black pulpit dates from 1753. The terracotta relief on the left side of the choir comes from the monastery church of Dargun Castle, which burned down in 1945 . Next to the pulpit is an old, damaged baptismal stand. There is another, metal baptismal stand. Various grave slabs are inside. The pews were made in 2006.
