The listed Spantekow Church in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district was built as a brick building in the 15th century. In 1754, it received a west tower with a half-timbered upper story and Baroque windows. Side chapels and the rectangular choir were added around 1857, and the choir was renovated in 1913. The nave and choir have flat roofs. The 17th-century Baroque altarpiece depicts a crucifixion group with richly decorated carvings. The Renaissance pulpit dates from the early 17th century, and the patron's box, dating from around 1800, bears the coat of arms of the von Schwerin family. The gallery stands on fluted columns. The choir features cabinet windows from 1635 and a round window with stained glass from the late 19th century. The organ, built by Barnim Grüneberg in 1860, has a neo-Gothic case. The chime consists of a bell from 1788, cast by Gottlieb Becker.
