The church was built in 1560 under Ulrich von Schwerin, who also had the older of the two buildings of the neighboring castle Putzar built. On July 17, 1636, the church and other buildings in the village burned down. A farm hand started the fire with a key box. The church was not rebuilt until 1653.
Dettlof von Schwerin had the church rebuilt and refurnished in 1705 for 2000 thalers. It received its tower and most of the interior decoration that has survived to the present day. In 1721 the Landjägermeister Hans Bogislav von Schwerin had the organ gallery, the patron's box and the pews installed.
The Putzar parish was independent until 1739, when the pastor moved to a new vicarage in Boldekow. Putzar was declared a subsidiary parish of Boldekow, retaining its rights as the mother church. The patronage of the church was with the landowners of Putzar, the von Schwerin family, until 1945.
After restoration work between 1956 and 1963, the church was extensively repaired between 1993 and 2000. The financing was realized by the German Foundation for Monument Protection, the Pomeranian Evangelical Church, the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the parish of Putzar.
