The Evangelical Village Church Bellin is a late Romanesque-early Gothic fieldstone church in the Bellin district of Krakow am See.
From 1228 onward, Johannes von Bellin was mentioned several times in the entourage of the princes of Werle. He is also believed to be the builder of the Bellin village church. The first construction phase of this stone church was started in the middle of the 13th century in late Romanesque - early Gothic architecture, as evidenced by the three-window group with half-column templates on the nave. These details in the 1281 dendrochronologically proven dating of the start of construction of the Bellin nave can be seen in other village churches in the Güstrow area (Wikipedia).
Unfortunately the church cannot be visited.

Beautiful church that strikes every hour and has a garden hose for water supply to the right of the entrance.
