Construction and equipment
The Romanesque single-nave stone church with a rectangular choir was built in the 12th century and named after St. George - the northern German variant of the name Georg is Jürgen. In the late Middle Ages, a vestibule, the so-called Karnhaus, was added to the south. The painting of the beam ceiling in the nave dates from the baroque period.

In 1926, late Gothic paintings, red tendrils with splendid rosettes and a representation of the Last Supper and the Fall of Man were rediscovered and restored in the Gothic choir arch.

A wooden plaque from 1284 is located above the choir arch. Eight partially painted, almost fully plastic reliefs under arched arcades to the right and left of a large triumphal cross illustrate the Passion . The lettering on the beam under the reliefs was applied in the Baroque period.

The Anna selbdritt sculpture and the crowned Maria with child in the shrine date from the late 15th century. The pulpit to the right of the choir arch is a donation of the Müller family Kühl von der Schafflunder Mühle from 1713. The five-sided pulpit basket shows the birth, baptism and resurrection of Jesus in three reliefs. The stand is a figure of Peter.

For him you ride, for him you run, with him you drive from here to Nobiskrug , there where white angels turn into jet black. "
