The Banzkow church has belonged to the parish of Plate since the Middle Ages. According to the church visa protocol, a church building has existed in Banzkow since 1534 as a daughter church of Plate. In 1872 the old church was demolished and a new one was built. It is a typical neo-Gothic brick building. When designing the exterior, a certain amount of effort was not dispensed with, so an apse is attached to the four-bay nave, above which rises a panel-jointed east gable, in the west a three-storey tower with an octagonal (octagonal) top rises with a pointed helmet.A sacristy is attached to the north side of the church. The uniform equipment was created together with the new building. The small medieval bell from 1509 has been preserved. Twelve years later, the church received an altarpiece organ made by the organ builder Friese from Schwerin.
On May 2, 1875, the new church was solemnly consecrated. On November 9, 1902, the Banzkow church received an altarpiece painted by Clara Möller. It is the copy of the Pfannenschmidt picture in the Serrahner church.In 1929 the second church bell was consecrated with the inscription: "God the glory, peace of the community". The first bell from the church was used for war purposes after it was confiscated in 1917. In 1996, the cemetery wall was renewed by 15 ABM volunteers from the Schwerin "Start" association.gemeinde-banzkow.de/index.php/kirchengemeinde.html
