The Dorfkirche Lichterfelde is a brick Gothic hall church built around 1300, with a rectangular nave and a recessed polygonal choir. Its massive west tower was added around 1500, with sound openings set between blind panels. The nave has a flat ceiling, the choir rib vaulting without a keystone, and the south portal is framed by moulded stones with crabs and pinnacles.

The brick nave and recessed choir with its five-eighth close date from around 1300, built in Brick Gothic style with putlog holes in the masonry. The massive west tower was planned from the start but only executed around 1500, its bell storey opened by segmental sound openings between blind panels. A restoration around 1960 covered again the fragmentary wall paintings uncovered in 1905. The west gallery carries paintings of the twelve apostles dated 1652.

Regular services at the Protestant Church bring together residents of Lichterfelde for worship, while the building hosts community gatherings and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.
