The village church of Mirow in Mirow, a district of Banzkow in the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, is a church built in 1842 in the neo-Gothic style on the fieldstone foundation of the earlier Mirow church. Inside there is a pulpit altar, an altar form that is not exactly common in Mecklenburg. An altarpiece with the disciples of Emmaus is a copy of a painting in the Georgenkirche in Parchim. The organ was built in 1857 by Johann Heinrich Runge (Hagenow). The instrument has 6 stops on a manual. The pedals are attached. Of the original 378 pipes, 355 are original. The 23 front pipes, which had to be delivered in 1917 for war purposes, were only renewed in their historical form during the restoration in 2000.

The church in Mirow is located in the southern part of the village, west of the street "Unter den Linden" and close to the historic village center, on a hill.

On March 25, 1270, Mirow first entered the spotlight of contemporary history.

The reason for its first documented mention was the transfer of Mirow to Reinfeld Monastery. The existing church was granted independent status and the Lübesse and Uelitz churches became branches.

Over time, the Mirow church underwent numerous renovations. As a result, this building, with its cemetery wall newly restored in 1999, is still well preserved and of interest to visitors to the village. It is surrounded by a well-maintained cemetery, which also houses a war memorial.

The Mirow church is one of the finest neo-Gothic churches in the Schwerin area. It was built between 1842 and 1845 as a replacement building on a hilltop, one of the earliest examples of neo-Gothic architecture. A bell tower is located to the west of the five-axled nave with a flat gable roof, and a sacristy with a basement was later added to the side. The church tower was completed in 1883.

The so-called pulpit altar is rare for Mecklenburg churches. The altarpiece depicts the "Disciples of Emmaus," a copy of a painting that the Grand Duke donated to St. George's Church in Parchim.

Unfortunately, the visible structural damage to the village church has increased in recent years. Leaks in the roof have led to extensive moisture damage inside the building. Repairs to the roof and ceiling support structures are therefore urgently needed.

The first church building in Mirow is documented in writing for the 13th century. It is one of the churches of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Uelitz in the provost Wismar, church district Mecklenburg the Evangelical Lutheran Church in northern Germany.

The church is one of the earliest examples of neo-Gothic construction. The Schwerin master builder Ludwig Bartning built it on behalf of Duke Paul Friedrich, patron of the church. The tower was built in 1883. The roof covering of tower and nave has been renewed and no longer corresponds to the original condition. Originally the church tower had a pointed helmet.
