The Sommersdorf church was first mentioned in 1276 in a document in which the patronage of the church was transferred to a monastery in Ueckermünde (later in Jasenitz). When the German settlers and farmers came to our Slavic-populated country from the West, they not only brought their agricultural implements with them, which were modern for the time, but also the Bible and their Christian faith. So they soon built this church in the middle of the village. The only thing that has come down to us from this time is the field stone walls with the remains of old window arches.

In the church tower, which was built in neo-Gothic style in 1897, there is a small museum with inventories from the church, village and school

Close to the churchyard wall, which was described as dilapidated as early as 1579 in a visitation log, there is an atonement or murder cross made of Gotland sand-lime brick. At this point, in 1423, the noble Henrik von Ramin from Wartin was killed by farmers, according to tradition, because he had violated the farm workers' wives.

For some time now, the oldest surviving cultural asset has been lying in the churchyard, namely a trough or stone mill from the Bronze Age (around 1000 BC).
