The Bristow Renaissance Church is the oldest and most beautiful Protestant village church in Mecklenburg. Its founder is Werner Hahn from Basedow. The simple chapel was completed during his lifetime. After Werner Hahn's death (1593), his son Hans Hahn began to convert and expand the chapel in 1597 and to build today's magnificent Renaissance church. He also made sure that the interior of the church turned out to be more magnificent and richer than the donor had originally intended. In 1601 the construction of the church was finally completed.

A fieldstone building with brick detailing, a magnificently designed blind gable, and a tower with two Renaissance bells dating from 1598. The Renaissance altar (circa 1600): Unique in Central Europe with its original paintwork, six meters wide, and featuring carved reliefs (e.g., the Nativity, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection). It is considered one of the most beautiful Renaissance altars in village churches throughout Germany.
