Stolpe church, Church building in Wannsee, Germany.
Stolpe Church is a brick building in Wannsee with a Latin cross floor plan and sandstone decorative elements. The structure features a nave, entrance hall, and transept arranged in the typical layout of its era.
Friedrich August Stüler designed and built the church between 1858 and 1859 following the vision of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. It replaced a medieval village church that had been demolished in 1854 due to structural instability.
The church carries the name of the medieval village that once existed on this site. Today it serves the Protestant community, where visitors can see original period details like the sandstone altar and pulpit from its construction era.
The church has a crossing tower with three bells, two of which are modern steel bells installed in 1955. Visits are typically possible during regular services or by prior arrangement with the parish.
The church was built on the foundations of a demolished earlier church that was once the center of village life. This location connects centuries of community history in a single spot.
