The striking half-timbered church is a building from the 18th century. The interior, tower, organ and bell date from the second half of the 19th century.

The village of Kirch-Jesar is more than 700 years old, the part of the name Jesar is probably derived from the Slavic and means "lake". As early as the 14th century there was a chapel in Kirch-Jesar, which probably fell into disrepair after the Thirty Years' War. In 1717, the ducal-Mecklenburg court marshal Johann Christoph von Halberstadt had the new church built in a simple style. The wood-clad tower with its slate roof was not built until 1847, as was the interior. A few years later, a bell from a workshop in Wismar was added. In 1881 the church received an organ from master organ builder Johann Heinrich Runge. The gallery had to be specially lowered so that the instrument could fit in. Around 1913, the painter Willi Schomann, who came from Parchim, created the mural "The Last Judgment" on the choir wall. The young painter was known for his paintings in churches, for example in the Marienkirche in Parchim the outer facade was renewed, the tower roof and the organ could also be repaired.Further renovation measures on the building are necessary and are supported by donations and a support association.

The village of Kirch-Jesar is more than 700 years old; the name Jesar is likely derived from Slavic and means "lake." As early as the 14th century, a chapel stood in Kirch-Jesar, which presumably fell into disrepair after the Thirty Years' War. In 1717, the Duke of Mecklenburg's court marshal, Johann Christoph von Halberstadt, had the new church built in a simple style. The wood-clad tower with its slate roof was not added until 1847, as was the interior. A few years later, a bell from a workshop in Wismar was added. In 1881, the church received an organ by master organ builder Johann Heinrich Runge. The gallery had to be specially lowered to accommodate the instrument. Around 1913, the painter Willi Schomann, originally from Parchim, created the mural "The Last Judgment" on the choir wall. The church is Protestant and belongs to the Kirch-Jesar parish.
