Pankow village church, Parish church in Pankow district, Germany.
Pankow village church is a brick building with neo-gothic design and two octagonal towers reflecting the Schinkel architectural school. The interior features a clear, functional layout typical of Protestant churches from this period.
An earlier granite chapel was built in 1230 by Cistercian monks, but was eventually replaced. The current structure was completed in 1859 as an expansion project designed by architect Friedrich August Stüler.
The pulpit displays portraits of religious reformers including Martin Luther and John Calvin, offering visitors insight into the theological roots of the congregation. These representations reflect the importance of the Reformation for the church community.
The church holds regular services and is therefore accessible at specific times. Visitors planning to attend outside of scheduled services should check opening hours beforehand to ensure access.
Four stained glass windows by artist Inge Pape created in 1959 depict the four evangelists of the New Testament throughout the church space. These windows exemplify modern religious art from the postwar period.
