    The field stone church in Rövershagen was built in the first half of the 14th century. The wooden tower was replaced by a brick tower in 1900. The church in Rövershagen is a late Gothic brick building. It is one of the oldest village churches in Mecklenburg.

      The village of Rövershagen was first mentioned in a document dated March 17, 1305 and must have been an extensive settlement at that time. The city of Rostock founded two jugs here, one of which was "by the new church". In the Middle Ages, the church belonged to the Rostock archdeaconate. Schlie dates the construction time to the first half of the 14th century. A wooden tower with an eight-sided pyramid spire was replaced by a brick tower in 1900.

      The baroque altarpiece with three paintings and four statues of the evangelists dates from 1708. The paintings show the Last Supper, the Resurrection, the Ascension of Christ. The pulpit is from 1593. It was repaired in 1684 and 1783. On the north wall there is a triumphal cross from the 16th century, at the four ends of which there are evangelist symbols. A depression in the pit of the heart was probably used to store a relic. On the south wall of the nave there are two frescoes, a fragment depicting Saint Andrew and the larger than life figure of Saint Christopher. These were painted over in the 19th century and were uncovered in 2004.

      The mechanical organ with seven registers on the west gallery was built in 1869 by Friedrich Friese III. The console has two manuals and a pedal. It is original, only the prospect pipes have been renewed. A repair took place in 2005.
