The city once had five churches. Today only the Marienkirche still exists. It was first mentioned in 1337. Destroyed in the city fire in 1475, it was rebuilt in the late Gothic style. During a renovation in 1891, the church was completely redesigned according to plans by Ludwig Böttger. Today the church consists of a three-aisled hall with a polygonal choir. The eastern stepped gable is typical of Nordic brick churches. The stained glass comes from the Royal Institute in Berlin. The altar window is an Easter window showing the resurrection scene. On the altar cabinet from 1743 is the donor's coat of arms of Lieutenant von Massow. The statue of Bishop Otto von Bamberg was created in 2013 by Günther Roßlau from Gneventhin.

A beautiful old church, plain and rustic but impressive in size. She can be seen from afar.
