Village church

The Zirchow village church is one of the oldest and most valuable historical monuments in the Stolper district. The brick-Gothic building probably dates from the 14th century. The tower and nave are the same width and are made of field stones . The low tower has a hipped roof, the west entrance portal is vaulted with a pointed arch.

The interior of the church has a flat wooden ceiling. Here stood a simple altar and a baroque pulpit . The organ from the 18th century was built at the instigation of the patron Alexander Schiebel von Schiebelstein . There were stained glass in the choir and on the north wall.

In 1736 and 1893/94 the church and especially the nave underwent extensive renovations. Until 1587 the Zirchower Church was also a place of worship for the parishioners from Kulsow, when they got their own church.
