The Protestant village church Glasow is a stone church in Glasow, a district of the municipality of Blankenfelde-Mahlow in the district of Teltow-Fläming in Brandenburg.
The sacred building was built in the second half of the 13th century. In 1672 the parish added the west tower and in 1693 renewed the pews. Repairs to the nave and tower were needed in 1706 and 1753. The parish suspects that originally there was only a boarded-up previous building, which was replaced in 1846. In 1853 she bought the altar and in 1878 an organ. In 1895 the tower received a clock. In the years 1927 to 1929 the parish restored the interior. In 1972 a storm damaged the roof and the tower, but it was not until 1976 that the repair work could be carried out. In the decades that followed, no further maintenance work was carried out. This led to the roof truss sagging and the church being closed in July 2000 due to the risk of collapse. In the spring of 2002, a renovation was carried out, which was completed on June 30, 2002 with a new church consecration. In the following year, further renovation work was carried out.

The memorial stone next to the church, on the playground, was probably missed by Erich's wrecking ball.
