The village church in Melz was built in 1816, after the previous building, dating from 1552, had to be demolished due to dilapidation. The simple rectangular plastered building with brick elements was erected on the initiative of the then landowner, Friedrich August von Ferber. The distinctive feature is the square west tower with its copper-covered spire, globe, weather vane, and cross. The church interior houses a valuable four-winged carved altar from around 1500, whose central figure is a crescent-shaped Madonna. The painted altar wings depict scenes from the lives of Jesus and the apostles.
A pulpit dating from the time of construction, with paintings of the Evangelists, completes the furnishings. Particularly noteworthy is one of Mecklenburg's oldest bronze bells, dating from the 14th century. It is complemented by a cast-iron bell from the 20th century. A winter church has been established in the chancel, while two sandstone sarcophagi belonging to the von Ferber family in the churchyard commemorate the church's former patronage. The church is located in the immediate vicinity of Lake Melzer and is an important cultural and historical monument of the region.
