The oldest part of the rectangular choir with a domed cross-ribbed vault and a group of two windows in the east wall, the wider, also rectangular nave was probably built immediately afterwards towards the end of the 13th century, but in the late Gothic period it was converted into a two-aisled, four-bay hall with cross-ribbed vaults by adding a row of central pillars easternmost pillar was placed directly in front of the triumphal arch,
Tower substructure a hundred years later made of brick with a baroque half-timbered tower and clapboard-roofed helmet (18th century), two bells also 18th century.

Window openings and portals as well as east gable in brick, gable between nave and choir decorated with staggered plaster panels, surrounding ornamental frieze on the nave, north sacristy made of brick on a field stone foundation, interior furnishings renewed in the 19th century.

In the 12th century, work began on building a church in Ankershagen in the Romanesque style that was common at the time. This is why one of the oldest surviving fieldstone churches in Mecklenburg can be found in Ankershagen today.
The church was renovated in the middle of the 13th century. It was given its current form through a reconstruction that probably also led to an extension. It was renovated in the Gothic style, but Romanesque elements were retained.

Since 2003, the Bible has been lying in this church so that visitors and hikers can copy it off
