The foundation stone for the church was laid in 1350. Today weddings take place in the church and with a little luck you can listen to the organ music.

The Chapel of St. Andreas, built around 1350, was remodeled in the Baroque style between 1721 and 1726 under Count Johann August von Meyerfeldt, Swedish Governor General for Rügen and Western Pomerania. The Renaissance altar with marble reliefs dates from 1598. There is also Baroque furnishings with ceiling and panel paintings, a Baroque pulpit, baptismal angel, confessional, patron's box and organ gallery with a Passion cycle on the parapet.

Originally Gothic, the Andreas chapel owes its current appearance to the extensive baroque remodeling of the castle church between 1721 and 1726 by the then Swedish governor general for Rügen and Western Pomerania, Count Johann August Meyerfeldt.
In addition to the large ceiling and panel paintings, the pulpit, a baptismal angel, the confessional, the patron's box and the baroque prospectus of the organ (everything from around 1725) complete the closed baroque impression. The artistically high-quality Renaissance altar from 1598 is particularly noteworthy. With its marble reliefs from the Italian school, it is the most important piece of church equipment.
