    The village church of Alt Plestlin is one of seven churches and chapels in the parish of Jarmen-Tutow in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District. It is located in the district of Alt Plestlin in the municipality of Bentzin in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district.

    The choir of the Alt Plestliner church was probably built in the 14th or 15th century. The hall, which is only slightly wider, and the substructure of the west tower were probably added later. In the 17th century the church, built of field stone, was completely renovated. It received the segment-arched windows and portals with brick walls and a hipped tiled roof in the east. The square half-timbered top of the tower with an octagonal, slated pointed helmet also dates from this period. In 1989 the framework was renewed. The base of the tower is plastered and has a wide western portal. One of the two bells was cast around 1500, the other in 1603.

    There are buttresses at the corners of the east pediment of the choir. The choir windows are embedded in large niches on the inside.

    During a renovation in 1842, the flat wooden ceiling was drawn in. The west gallery probably dates from the 17th century and was enlarged during the renovation. The pulpit altar was built around 1800. The body of a crucifix from around 1300 was combined with the figures of Mary and the Apostle John carved in the second half of the 14th century to form a crucifixion group. A figure of Mary and child was carved in the 15th century.

    The organ from 1890 comes from the workshop of the Stralsund organ builder Paul Mehmel. Its three-part façade is designed in Neo-Renaissance forms with round arches and fluted pilasters (Wikipedia).
