The small, tiled building was probably built in the 13th century from unevenly layered field stones and bricks. A wooden roof turret was removed in the 19th century because it was in disrepair.

The Protestant parish has belonged to the Pasewalk provostship in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany since 2012. Before that, it belonged to the Greifswald church district of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church.

The blind gable, the west wall and the edges of the building have corner pinnacles. The windows and portal surrounds were made of brick. The windows were changed several times, and at the end of the 19th century they were enlarged and given rounded arches. On the north façade, two windows were walled up with fieldstones or bricks. A small priest's gate closed with bricks can also be seen there. Windows were also walled up on the south façade. The east gable has six white plastered pointed arch blinds with a circular blind above. Below there are several bricked up windows that were closed with fieldstones and bricks. On the west gable, above the central plaster blind, there is a small wooden door. In earlier times, the fishermen from Garz could dry their nets there for a small fee. The gable roof is covered with red plain tiles.

The interior has a flat ceiling and on the east wall there is a sacrament niche with a wooden door from the 16th century. The winter church is located under a gallery.

The altar with enclosure, the pulpit with adjoining preacher's pew and the west gallery were made in 1780. The two votive naves are copies of the originals from 1770 and 1825, which are in the museum in Wolgast. The organ was made in 1856 by the Kaltschmidt company from Stettin, the facade is in neo-renaissance style.
