Church in Zurow

The church features a single-nave brick structure with three cross-ribbed vaults and a quadrate west tower constructed in the late 14th century.

First documented on June 15, 1303, through a contract between Prince Heinrich of Mecklenburg and Willekinus Hanenzagel, the church underwent substantial restoration after lightning damage in 1639.

The interior contains wall paintings from the early 15th century and an altar from the second half of the 15th century depicting the Coronation of Mary.

The church belongs to the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Northern Germany and serves multiple surrounding villages within the Wismar deanery of Nordwestmecklenburg district.

The church bell from 1462 displays detailed decorations including images of the Virgin Mary and a bishop, representing medieval craftsmanship of the region.
