The village church Gielsdorf is a late Romanesque field stone building from the 13th century, consisting of a nave, a retracted rectangular choir with apse and the west tower the width of a ship, which is continued above the roof as a square half-timbered tower with a tent roof.
The windows on the north side are largely in their original state with a flat-roofed inner pointed triumphal arch, above which is the half-conical roof covered with beaver tail.
On the north side, a gravestone embedded in the wall reminds of Wilhelm von Pfuel, the heir of Gielsdorf and Schulzendorf, and of Adelheid Caroline von Pfuel.
After the renovation from 2012 to 2014, the village church was to be used as a place of worship for the Protestant parish as well as a new, expanded use. The building and the churchyard should open up to visual arts, music and literature and become a “stage”. With the construction of the winter church from 2006 to 2007, the necessary conditions were created for both a lively community life all year round and the parallel use of the village church as an "art church".
