The brick church with its half-timbered tower (1733) dates back to
the 15th century. As a result of poor maintenance during GDR times, the
Baroque wooden ceiling had to be taken down; the impressive confessional
and patronage pews had to be dismantled and secured. The altar from 1724
can still be seen. Thanks to its open-style roof truss, the church
offers interesting acoustics; in summer, it is used for concerts and
monthly masses. Extraordinary: Use as a "cultural and procession church". The valuable triumph cross (c.1500) is on display at the community centre of Stralsund-Knieperwest. |
