Karow Village Church

The Karow village church shows late Romanesque forms. It was built as a three-part apse church made of largely carefully hewn field stone masonry: a nave around 13 meters long and 10 meters wide, a recessed choir around 7 meters long and around 7 meters wide and the apse around 3 meters long and a width of around 6.5 meters.In 1429 the church was expanded with vaulting and painting. Restorations were carried out in 1622 and 1792–1795, with the church receiving a new roof structure and wider arched windows instead of the narrower and higher-seated arched windows. In 1830 the vault was replaced by flat barrels. The stone tower made of yellow brick, with a square floor plan and an octagonal pyramid roof, was only added in the years 1845–1847 by Friedrich August Stüler in romanized forms. The tower is not placed directly in front of the west side of the nave, but is connected to it by a short intermediate building. There are three cast steel bells in the church tower, which were consecrated on May 24, 1925, because in 1917 the original ringing, three bronze bells, had been sacrificed for war purposes. Other sources speak of two bronze bells that were cast by Nickel Dietrich in Lorraine in 1552. They are said to have a diameter of 1.07 meters or 0.85 meters. During the renovation between 1958 and 1959, the upper parts of the arched windows and part of the apse were plastered in an unsightly manner. The renovated layered joints also show too much plastered mortar.

Interesting picture Bible in the church

For me it is one of the most beautiful churches in the city. It is one of the oldest buildings in Karow. There is also a small cemetery around the church, which unfortunately is divided in two by road 72.
