Stadtkirche Crivitz

The Crivitz town church is a listed building in Crivitz, a town in the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim (Mecklenburg-West Pomerania). The church is considered the town's landmark and dominates the townscape with its high church roof and tower. The parish belongs to the Propstei Wismar in the Mecklenburg church district of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in northern Germany.

The town church of Crivitz is a Gothic hall church made of brick with a closed chancel. The late Gothic net vault in the chancel is remarkable. The sacristy from the 15th century is attached on the north side. It is provided with a ribbed vault. This part is now used as a winter church. The church has a 40m high 15th century rectangular tower to the west.

There are no traces of the first church in Crivitz. The foundation remains in the sacristy probably belong to a successor. The current building was probably built in brick at the end of the 14th century. While retaining the same floor plan, it underwent a number of changes over the centuries. The church received its final appearance today after the tower and roof were rebuilt after the town fire in 1660.
