Church in Gressow, Brick Gothic church in Gressow, Germany.

The Church in Gressow is a brick building in Gothic style with pointed windows, ribbed vaults, and thick walls of solid brick throughout. The structure shows the careful bonding patterns and decorative details typical of northern German brick construction.

First documented in 1230 and 1234 in the Ratzeburg tithe register, the church received income from a 1266 endowment by Heinrich der Pilger. The present brick building dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, with the square west tower begun in the second half of the 15th century and completed around 1700 with an octagonal spire. In 1526 the patron Berend von Plesse installed the Lübeck exile Thomas Aderpul as preacher without the bishop's consent; the bishop had him seized in Schönberg in 1529, and the Reformation in the Klützer Winkel was only completed in 1540.

The church and parish shaped the Reformation in the Klützer Winkel: in 1526 patron Berend von Plesse installed the Lübeck exile Thomas Aderpul as preacher without the bishop's consent, and the bishop had him seized at Schönberg in 1529. The change was completed only in 1540. Since 1988 the middle south chapel holds a memorial to resistance fighter Fritz-Dietlof von der Schulenburg, executed after 20 July 1944, with a plaque and stained-glass window designed by his sister Tisa.

The building sits in open countryside and is easy to reach from outside, allowing visitors to examine the brick details at close range. Access to the interior may depend on opening times or special occasions, so it is worth checking before planning a visit.

In the middle south chapel, a small memorial since 1988 commemorates Fritz-Dietlof von der Schulenburg, a member of the 20 July 1944 conspiracy executed after the attempt on Hitler failed. The plaque and the leaded glass window were designed by his sister Tisa von der Schulenburg.
