In the church there are late Romanesque choir windows and medieval vault paintings, as well as a Romanesque baptismal font. The center of the choir room is a Gothic winged altar from around 1515–1520, which is well worth seeing, as are the vault paintings.

The Bernitter Church is a field stone building with windows, portals and vaults made of brick. It was built in the 13th century. The choir is older than the nave and dates from around 1240, while the nave was added around 40 years later. The tower of the church dates from the 15th century.

The Bernitter Church is one of the few churches in Mecklenburg from the 13th century that the Reformation apparently left behind without a trace. The interior of the church is well preserved. From the Middle Ages there are vault paintings in the nave and a large baptismal font and a sacrament cabinet in the north wall in the choir. There are medieval paintings in the nave. They were only rediscovered in 1859 and faithfully restored. The paintings in the nave of the church are among the oldest scenic representations in Northern Germany. Scenes of the Passion of Christ and the Last Judgment are depicted on the main surfaces of the vaulted caps. The creation of the vault paintings is dated for the period around 1280-1350.

The tower has an eight-sided helmet and four dazzling gables. A double-beamed staircase, which is almost 13 meters long, leads to the bell chamber. There are three bells in the bell chamber. The two large Bernitter church bells are still preserved from the 14th century. On one of them there is the well-known bell saying O rex glorie christe veni cum pace and incised marks of the Blessed Mother and St. Catherine.
