The medieval brick church consists of an early Gothic, formerly vaulted choir room from the beginning of the 13th century and an equally broad late Gothic nave of 1480th West is a wooden-clad Fachwerkturm in late Gothic period prefabricated.

In the church are some handsome pieces of equipment, such as a Gothic carved altar, the painting of the church is from the Renaissance period.

The village church Demern is a brick Gothic church building in the district Demern of the municipality of Königsfeld in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg. The church belongs to the parish Carlow in the Propstei Wismar in the parish of Mecklenburg of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany.

In the Ratzeburg tithe register, Demern is described in 1320 as a village belonging to the Parish Carlow, so it did not yet have its own parish church. In 1335, however, the community already contributed the tax of a parish village to the diocese of Ratzeburg, and in 1397 Schaddingsdorf was designated as belonging to the Parish Demern. Demern belonged to the Ratzeburg bishopric and the resulting principality of Ratzeburg; the church patronage was held by the bishop and cathedral chapter of Ratzeburg and, as their legal successors, the (grand) dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
After the Reformation, the first visitation took place in 1581 under the direction of the Lübeck superintendent Andreas Pouchenius. Thereby writings by Niels Hemmingsen were found, the use of which was forbidden because of his proximity to the Calvinists; church attendance is negligent and singing is poor. During another visit in 1599 the church was found to be in disrepair [which led to a thorough renovation in 1611.
Church and village suffered greatly from the consequences of the Thirty Years' War. The church lost its bells and silver sacrificial implements; the village was at times completely deserted and the pastor's post was vacant for a long time.

In the 19th century, Gottlieb Matthias Carl Masch, known as a Mecklenburg regional historian, was pastor of the church from 1838 to 1878. His predecessor Wilhelm Rudolphi was pastor in Demern from 1820 to 1837 and wrote two Latin textbooks for primary school students. Rudolphi and Masch were buried in the churchyard.
Since 1985 the church has been gradually repaired inside and out and extensively restored.
