A beautiful little church and the highlight of Helle.

The eclectic hall church was built in 1913 to replace the dilapidated half-timbered church, designed by Georg Büttner in accordance with the ideas of the Heimat movement, incorporating characteristic Romanesque and Baroque motifs. It consists of a nave, a semicircular choir to the east behind a choir arch, and a church tower at the northwest corner of the nave. The top floor, made of timber framing, houses the bell cage behind the sound arcades designed as bifora. The church tower is capped by an eight-sided, slate-covered, shingled roof. The façade to the west of the nave is topped with a spire gable. The interior is spanned by a segmental-arched, coffered barrel vault. The altarpiece from the previous building, created around 1470, depicting the coronation of Mary, has been preserved.

The church here in Helle immediately captivated me, what a beautiful village church.

Today, the restored castle houses a museum dedicated to the history of the house and the living culture of the Brandenburg landed gentry, using the example of the Gans Edlen Herren zu Putlitz family. Concerts and civil weddings take place in the castle's beautiful garden hall, and church services are held in the castle chapel, as well as church weddings and baptisms.

The church is a well-preserved hall building made of fieldstone blocks from 1260 with a west transept tower; the recessed rectangular choir was renovated in late Gothic style. The half-timbered top of the tower dates from 1829. There is a pointed arch stepped portal on the west and north sides; the northern one was walled up but has since been reopened.

Kuhsdorf was one of the oldest estates of the von Quitzow family and it is assumed that the name derives from Konradsdorf, as Konrad was a key name for the family, as was Barthold, which is why it is assumed that the neighboring Bullendorf was originally called Bartholdsdorf and the animal names were named this later replaced when the origins were long forgotten.

Good surface, little traffic, drives well

Well-preserved castle with park around it. I did not recognize kiosk or similar
