    The street village of Wulkenzin was a parish town from early on. The first church was documented in 1339. The rectangular brick hall on a fieldstone base with a polygonal choir end and a tower in front was built in 1830–31 by Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel, building advisor to the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Schinkel's student.
    The new church building was necessary because the original church from the 13th century burned down in the 17th century. In the meantime, a small half-timbered church even served as an emergency solution.

    A unique feature of this church is its unusual west-east orientation: the tower stands in the east and the altar in the west! Medieval church building regulations stipulate that the priest must face the rising sun at the altar. It wasn't until the 19th century that some church patrons and architects (such as Court Architect Buttel) allowed themselves a deviation from this rule (e.g., Graal-Müritz, Voigtsdorf).
