Church in Proseken, Gothic brick church in Proseken, Germany.

The Dorfkirche Proseken is a single-nave brick church with a long rectangular choir and a two-bay nave, separated by a triumphal arch. The tower, nearly square and tall, has an octagonal helm with four shield gables forming a "bishop's mitre". Paired lancet windows with inserted round bars and glazed bricks decorate the walls, and the tower's gable ornament resembles that of Wismar's churches.

Proseken was first documented in 1210, and the church itself in 1222; construction dates to the 13th century. The bishop of Ratzeburg founded the parish and in 1237 placed it under the archdeaconry of Rehna Monastery. The choir and nave were built together in the second half of the 13th century, the tower in the second half of the 15th, probably commissioned by the Negendanck family. After the Reformation the patronage passed to the ruler and later to the Negendanck family.

The village of Proseken was first recorded in 1210, and its name probably derives from the Slavic word preseca, meaning hedge. The church, documented from 1222, is one of two serving the Proseken-Hohenkirchen parish, and its pulpit door carries the alliance coat of arms of the Negendanck and Reventlow families, former patrons.

The church stands in Proseken, part of the Gägelow municipality immediately west of Wismar, with the cemetery in front of the tower and nave. The lower tower storey was opened toward the nave in 1668, so the interior is entered from the west end. The northern porch at the choir is the neo-Gothic addition made during the 1856 restoration.

The tower's octagonal helm with four shield gables forms a so-called "Bishop's Mitre", and its gables carry different blind ornament of lozenges, rosettes and pointed arches. The design echoes the churches of nearby Wismar. The tower was probably built for a Negendanck in the second half of the 15th century.
