Petzow village church, Parish church in Petzow, Germany.

Petzow village church is a house of worship in Werder (Havel) featuring rounded arches, stone walls, and symmetrical elements in the Romanesque Revival style. The building displays these characteristic features clearly and shapes the village landscape with its solid, traditional construction.

Schinkel drew the plans in 1838, but the foundation stone was laid on 4 October 1840 by order of Frederick William IV, after the original site near the predecessor church proved unsuitable. The builder Emil Prüfer erected the church in 1841 and 1842, and it was consecrated on 31 October 1842. Schinkel, gravely ill, died on 9 October 1841 and never saw it finished.

The church was deconsecrated in 1988 and leased to the district authority for 99 years; since 30 October 1994 it has served the Landkreis as a venue for concerts, exhibitions and as a registry office for weddings. Its altar, pulpit and octagonal font follow Schinkel's own designs.

The church stands on the Grelleberg hill north of Fercher Straße, not in the village centre, and has no surrounding enclosure. Since 1994 it has served the district as a venue for concerts, exhibitions and civil weddings, so interior access depends on those events rather than on regular services.

Schinkel drew the plans in 1838, but the foundation stone was laid only on 4 October 1840 by order of Frederick William IV, after disputes over the site. Schinkel, gravely ill, died on 9 October 1841 and never saw the consecration on 31 October 1842.
