Dorfkirche Klein Ziethen, Gothic fieldstone church in Ziethen Barnim, Germany.
Dorfkirche Klein Ziethen is a Gothic fieldstone building with a rectangular nave and quadratic choir in the Barnim region of Brandenburg. The interior features a wooden barrel vault decorated with floral paintings.
The building was constructed in the 13th century and underwent reconstruction in 1717 after damage during the Thirty Years' War. This rebuilding shaped the church as it appears today.
The French Reformed congregation holds services here, keeping alive the story of Huguenot refugees who arrived from Hainaut in 1686. Their presence shapes how the space is used and understood by visitors today.
To visit the interior, you should contact the parish office in advance to arrange access. A phone call is the best way to set up a time that works for both you and the congregation.
A replica of the original Ten Commandments tablet from 1748 hangs in the choir, while the original is preserved at the Huguenot Museum in Berlin. This arrangement connects local history with its safekeeping in a larger institution.
