Village church Paretz

The Village Church Paretz features rectangular walls of fieldstone and plaster, crowned by a traditional wooden vault with decorative stucco elements.

The church's foundation dates to 1197 when Markgraf Otto II of Brandenburg donated the land, with initial construction completed in the early 12th century.

The church maintains Protestant religious services under the Kirchenkreis Nauen-Rathenow, representing centuries of continuous spiritual practice in Brandenburg.

Visitors need to schedule appointments through the church administration to access the interior and view the historical architectural features.

The north patronage lodge contains an ornate portal leading to well-preserved 14th-century biblical murals discovered in the choir area.
