Late Gothic brick building with a nave-wide west tower from the 16th century, attached to an existing chapel building from the 15th century. Richly carved pulpit altar inside, early 18th century, flanked on the sides by prayer rooms (former confessionals).

The Protestant village church in Legde, a district of the municipality of Legde/Quitzöbel in the Prignitz district in Brandenburg, was probably built at the end of the 15th century. The church on Dorfstrasse is a protected monument.

The late Gothic single-nave brick building has a nave-wide west tower that was added at the beginning of the 16th century. The cross-ribbed vaulted east building, which has been converted into a choir, has been slightly retracted. The structure ends with three sides of a hexagon. Traces of an earlier extension are visible on the north side of the choir, which was connected to the church via two large pointed arch openings. There are buttresses attached to the ship, which probably date from the construction period; the pillars on the tower were probably added later. There is a narrow gate on the south side of the tower, and the wide, arched portal on the choir is probably modern.[1]

The church tower with a transverse gable roof and roof turrets between gables with pinnacle pillars was repaired in 1998. The leaded glass windows from 1892 were restored and added in 2009. The choir, which is separated by a triumphal arch, has a cross-ribbed vault, and a beamed ceiling has been installed in the nave, which was also originally vaulted.

The richly carved pulpit altar was created at the beginning of the 18th century and is flanked on the side by prayer rooms.

The organ was installed in 1892 by Carl Joseph Chwatal from Merseburg.
