The 13th century church originally had the patronage of the Apostle Bartholomew. Mentioned for the first time in 1269, it belonged to the Schwerin diocese. It was the patronage church of the Rossewitz manor house. In the base zones there are two alliance coats of arms and one of the von Buch family, who had been the church patron since 1753.
The masonry of the building consists of field and brick. The choir of the slightly longitudinally rectangular nave has been drawn in and is equipped with a blind gable. While the choir is still finished with the original eight-rib domical vault, the nave was covered with four cross-rib vaults over a central octagonal pillar with round services in the 14th century. The interior is lit by lancet windows in groups of two and three. On the south side there is a vestibule, which is also provided with a blind gable.
The square, narrow-looking tower, like the hall, is made of mixed masonry. The upper part made of half-timbered and brick is crowned by a high hipped roof. The bell was cast in 1370.
The church stands in the middle of a churchyard where several interesting tombstones and a mausoleum of the von Buch family have been preserved.
