Church in Wattmannshagen, Gothic brick church in Wattmannshagen, Lalendorf, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

The Church in Wattmannshagen consists of three distinct parts: a rectangular fieldstone choir from around 1260, a wider brick nave dated by dendrochronology to 1283, and a massive square brick tower from around 1290. The nave has two bays with ribbed vaults, and all three sections are covered by longitudinal saddle roofs. The tower received its saddle roof in 1757.

Construction of the church occurred in phases beginning in the 1200s, with the stone choir completed around 1260 and the brick nave following by 1283. A fire in 1757 led to the tower receiving a saddle roof, which remains its defining feature today.

The church belongs to the parish of Wattmannshagen within the Propstei Rostock of the Nordkirche. Its furnishings span centuries of local donors and craftsmen: the wooden altar was installed in 1738 with a crucifixion painting by J. Hohenschildt, the wooden pulpit dates from 1737 and shows the Evangelists and the Salvator mundi amid acanthus ornament, and the plain baptismal font of 1653 carries Beschlagwerk decoration.

The church belongs to the parish of Wattmannshagen within the Propstei Rostock of the Nordkirche; service times are posted at the entrance. The three parts of the building are clearly set apart: rectangular fieldstone choir, wider brick nave, and the massive square tower. The south portal, with its columns and leaf-carved capitals, is the richest of the three portals.

The choir, the oldest part of the church, is covered by a domical vault with eight ribs, a form rarely found in village churches of the region. A heavy pointed triumphal arch opens from this stone choir into the brick nave, whose two bays carry cross-ribbed vaults.
