The Village Church in Schenkendorf

image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH

Schenkendorf is situated southwest of Königs Wusterhausen. The church can be found amidst the brick-walled graveyard in the village green. It is a simple square building, but the side walls converge strongly towards the east. The brickwork is irregular, more or less mosaic-like with relatively large field stones, which are only hewn or split on the outside. The church has a new groove plaster, the north annex has been completely plastered. The tower is a roof tower, which is covered in slade. It has each a sound opening on the north, west and south side.

In the western part of the church is a horseshoe-formed gallery, on which the organ stands. It has pretty, white organ prospect with golden decorations. On the fourth window in the south wall, small remnants of wall paintings have been preserved. A late-Gothic winged altar has a place at the northside of the choir. The church has richly decorated Baroque altar from the 2nd half of the 17th-century. Noteworthy are also the late-Gothic wrought-iron mountings on the south door.
