    The first documentary mention of Blankenhagen comes from the year 1233. It was made by an episcopal decree on tithing in the parish Ribnitz. The church was first mentioned in documents on 23 August 1318 and belonged to the Archdeacon Rostock in the Middle Ages. Founder and builder of the church was the noble family of the Moltkes, who also held the patronage. The first mention proves that a Johann Moltke donated a vicarage in the church to Blankenhagen for the priest Ghodefridus.

    The church is built of field stones. Stylistically, it belongs to the transitional period between Romanesque and Gothic. On the gables, as well as the window and door openings bricks were used. The two-choir choir has a flat eastern end. North of the choir is also made of fieldstone a sacristy. The transition from the rib-vaulted choir to the flat-roofed nave forms a triumphal arch. Some parts of the church date back to the 13th century. The wooden west tower with four-sided pyramidal helmet and a southern half-timbered building were later built. In the east wall of the choir there is a three-part pointed-arch window with a round window above. A portal on the west side was walled up.

      just by the way: the church also has a cemetery, and in the cemetery there is, as so often, water to fill up the bottle
