The three-nave and three-bay brick hall church rises skyward on the north side of Wittenburg's market square. It is a work of North German brick Gothic and also has Romanesque elements on its facades.

Construction of the church began in 1240 and in the second half of the 13th century it was consecrated to the saint and apostle St. Bartholomew, who is considered the patron saint of farmers, shepherds, bakers, tailors and saddlers.

The nave is Gothic. Late Romanesque decorative forms can also be seen on the outside of the church (e.g. corner pilaster strips, round-arched friezes). An imposing tracery rosette from the 15th century is emblazoned on the extension to the market side. In the chancel, the grooved and glazed bricks are remarkable. The mighty tower is a work from the early 20th century

Parts of the interior that are particularly worth seeing:

a delicately carved neo-Gothic altar from 1470/1480 which originally stood in the church of Hagenow
a pulpit from 1666
an impressive bronze baptismal font from 1342
a commemorative plaque for the fallen of the "wars of liberation" from 1808 - 1815 and the fallen of the First World War
an organ by the master organ builder Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer (1848)
a light altar with the 10 commandments
Vaults from the 14th - 15th centuries
