Bristow village church
● Schorssow
As one of the earliest Protestant churches and the oldest Protestant village church in Mecklenburg, the Renaissance church in Bristow is of outstanding importance for the cultural history of the region. The altar carved from pine and lime wood with its pulpit dating from around 1600 is the church's showpiece.
Schorssow Church Ruins
● Schorssow
A hidden ruin on the shore of Schorssow House Lake. The former fieldstone church was built in the 14th century. Between 1533 and 1540, an inheritance dispute between Knight Bernd Maltzahn of Penzlin and Wolde, as well as Lüdecke Maltzan of Osten, against Vollrath Preen led to the destruction of the church. The reason for this is unknown. In 2001 and 2002, the church ruins were restored. The park and the area surrounding the church hill were also given a dignified appearance. A new belfry was erected next to the church ruins. The Bachert bell foundry in Heilbronn cast a bell weighing 350 kg. The bell was consecrated on September 8, 2002.
