The present three-aisled Protestant St. Mary's Church is a brick hall church, which was built at the highest point of the city next to the market square. The origins of the building are still Romanesque. In essence, it is an elongated rectangular stone building dating back to the 13th century, which has been modified many times, so that the Gothic elements predominate.

The church was destroyed twice within a hundred years. While the first reconstruction from 1657 to 1679 made the church shine in the old glory, during the reconstruction from 1717 to 1754 profound changes took place in the building. Thus, the remains of the medieval side chapels were demolished at the tower, one of those measures based on the church building principles of the Schwerin Hofbaurates Leonhard Christoph Sturm. The extension of the north and south side of the church space are also ingredients of the reconstruction.

There are also neo-gothic and romanizing additions, which were added in the course of the reconstruction from 1860 to 1865. In the same time also the old dilapidated field stone choir was broken off. The old choir was then replaced by a basilical three-nave extension. Inside, the northern and southern extensions added to the ship in the 18th century were walled up, so that a long building was created from the almost square central building. The designs for the conversion were provided by the Mecklenburg architect Theodor Krüger.

The three-aisled Protestant St. Mary's Church is located at the highest point of the city next to the market square. The origins of the building are still Romanesque. In essence, it is an elongated rectangular stone building from the 13th century, which has been changed many times, so that the Gothic components predominate.
After the city fire of 1709, changes were made in the style of the Baroque period. The parish church received a new four-storey west tower, which was structured with pilasters. A special feature is the tower dome: From the square plan of the tower forms an eight-sided lantern, from which one has a good view over the city and the Elbtalaue.
There are neo-Gothic and Romanizing additions from 1860 to 1865 on the north and south sides. The entire choir area and the apse with its two hexagonal side towers were supplemented until 1865 in neo-Gothic styles. Today, the former chancel and sanctuary houses a glass installation dating back to the 1980s and used as a community center and winter church in place of the unheated main house.
