1346, the village Motzen (derived from Mossen, which meant as much as swamp bath) is mentioned. A few years later, the first wooden church was erected here on a fieldstone foundation.

The construction of today's baroque church was not until 1754 until 1755. In the 19th century, the church was affected by lightning strikes. In 1890, the renovation of the village church followed. The church received in 1901 a Hollenbach organ. The tower was provided with copper plates 30 years later. The war did not pass without a trace at the small church. All the greater was the joy when in 1955 the big bell returned to the church.

The plastered church building with the curved tower hood was built in 1755 instead of a wooden porch. The previous church probably dates from 1395. The new building was erected under the patronage of Frederick II. Lightning struck the tower several times and in the course of the Second World War the community had to give up the two bells - one of which was later found in a bell cemetery and returned.
The organ from 1910 comes from the Neuruppin organ builder Albert Hollenbach. The pulpit is located in the middle of the east wall, beneath which is a panel of wood painted in the style of a plait. The community owns a Venetian Bible from 1483, which is brought from the guest's house to the church on special occasions - it is considered one of the oldest printed Bibles in Brandenburg.
