Dorfkirche Gägelow, Early Gothic fieldstone church in Sternberg, Germany.

The church features three-window groups built with brick elements and a distinctive blind gable integrated into its fieldstone construction design.

The church's original wooden choir seating dates back to 1247, establishing it as the oldest preserved church seating arrangement in Germany.

Local residents reference the church's interior through the regional saying 'So bunt as de Gägelowsch Kark' due to its colorful decorations.

The religious building now functions as part of a merged parish with Dabel, serving multiple surrounding villages in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region.

The church interior contains wall paintings from 1857 by Theodor Fischer, depicting Saint Christopher, John the Baptist, and Moses in the archways.
