It is a Protestant church with beautiful architecture and is currently being restored inside.

The church, consecrated in 1307, was built on the remains of the previous building using the remains of the wall that had been preserved. Some of these remains can still be seen today on the outside of the west wall and inside the church. The old church was a late Romanesque basilica, which was probably built by Bishop Berno between 1180 and 1190. What is certain, however, is that it stood in 1229, perhaps a little before that. It is thus in parts the oldest building in the city of Parchim.

The basilica burned down before 1289, so that, according to the Parchim chronicle of the Georgen pastor Cordesius (1634–1676), Pope Nicolaus IV (1288–1292) granted an indulgence for the construction aid. This Pope belonged to the Franciscans, who have also been recorded in Parchim since 1246.

Directly opposite the town hall is Parchim's mighty St. George's Church. It was built after 1289 as a Gothic brick building on a fieldstone base. Previously, a late Romanesque basilica without a tower or transept stood on the same site. The interior is of great importance in terms of art history. This is especially true of the altar from 1421, the pulpit from 1580, a wooden sculpture from the 15th century, and the council pews from the 17th century. The Enlightenment philosopher Johann Jakob Engel found his final resting place in this church.
