Church in Woserin

The Church in Woserin is a Gothic field stone building in Borkow distinguished by pointed arch triple window groups. Cross vaults with round ribs run through both the nave and choir sections.

The building first appears in records in 1234 when Bishop Brunward of Schwerin granted it archidiaconal rights and placed it under Dobbertin convent. The tower was completed in 1479 and received its current roof configuration in 1790 after substantial repairs.

The interior contains an altarpiece painted by Gaston Lenthe in 1857 showing the crucifixion, alongside sandstone epitaphs from earlier centuries. These works reflect the spiritual life and memories of the community across different periods.

The church is located in Borkow and belongs to the Dabel parish within the Sternberg church region. It is managed by the Protestant Church of Northern Germany and welcomes visitors interested in viewing its architecture and interior.

The tower completed in 1479 features a roof that was entirely replaced in 1790 after major restoration work. This two-hundred-year gap between the tower's completion and its roof renovation is an unusual aspect of the building's technical history.
