The Protestant village church Börnicke is an early Gothic fieldstone church in the Börnicke district of Bernau near Berlin in the Barnim district in Brandenburg. It belongs to the Bernau parish in the Barnim parish of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia and can be visited by appointment.
The church is a fieldstone hall with a recessed rectangular choir and a high west transverse tower from the second half of the 13th century. The south sacristy, which probably dates from the 14th century, is united under one roof with the adjoining vestibule made of mixed masonry (15th century). The end of the tower is formed by a gable roof between late Gothic brick gables decorated with panels and pinnacles. In the west, the church is accessed through a double-tiered pointed arch portal. Further portals in the south and north are walled up, the remaining openings are widened to form a round arch. There are three pointed arch panels in the east wall, the middle one of which is blocked off.
In the 16th century, the interior was vaulted into two naves in the style of a single-support room with four ribbed vaults over a round central pillar, a rectangular pillar under the triumphal arch and over side consoles. The room was restored in 1957. The choir vault was removed during a restoration in 1883. The barrel-vaulted sacristy is accessed through a four-tiered flat arched door. The opening to the tower is blocked except for one door.
