Bernitter Church

The church of Bernitter is a building of field stone and brick built in the 13th century. The choir is older than the nave and dates from about 1240, while the nave was added about 40 years later. The church tower dates from the 15th century. The church in Bernitter is one of the few churches in Mecklenburg from the 13th century, which the Reformation apparently left untouched. The large bronze bell of the church in Bernitter has also been spared by history, as it was not melted down as part of the metal donation during the Second World War.

Moisall Church

This early gothic church with fieldstone and brick masonry was first documented in 1264. The church was rebuilt in the first half of the 18th century, when the nave was covered with a mansard roof. The wooden barrel vaulting installed at that time was renewed during a restoration in 1895 together with the northern sacristy. The altarpiece is a work from 1726 and shows a painting with Christ on the Mount of Olives.

Neukirchen Church

The construction of the church in Neukirchen started in the middle of the 13th century and took about 100 years. It explains the transition from round-arched windows in the choir to ogival windows in the nave. Bricks were used for the gables, portal and windows. The fieldstone church made of hewn granite stones has a single nave.
