Poppentin fieldstone church
The Protestant church is a listed church building in Poppentin, a district of the municipality of Göhren-Lebbin.
The church, a rectangular fieldstone building from the 13th century, is one of the oldest churches in the region. Since January 2020, the church has belonged to the parish of Malchow. The beautifully situated Poppentin church has been used as a wedding church many times in recent years. The old church was once surrounded by a farm and had its own vicarage. Today, the Protestant church is Filia zu Sietow. In 1802, there were three other farms and a school next to the vicarage. An old cobblestone road led from Poppentin through Kirch Poppentin to Wendhof. The cornerstones of the original church from the 13th century are still preserved in hewn granite. The walls of the nave were rebuilt in brick around 1820. Pointed arched windows are set into the walls, which are divided in the choir area by smaller, five-part windows with intermediate bars. The flowery stained glass windows are striking. The west tower, built in the braid gothic style, bears the date 1822 on the front. The portal in the lower storey remains in fieldstone. Its upper storey was renovated in brick. The walls are divided by sound openings, which were set into pointed arched blinds. Its flat pyramid roof was covered with roof tiles. During the restoration of the church in 1883, the interior was also renovated and a wooden barrel vault was installed in the central part of the interior. The simple interior decoration was kept in the neo-Gothic style. A small bronze bell by the Wismar master Albrecht hangs in the tower. The bell by Carl Illies no longer exists. During the renovation work from 2000 to 2002, the roof was re-roofed. The church and cemetery are framed by a dry stone wall. A listed sculpture can be found at the grave of Frieda Glantz. At the back of the cemetery is the tomb of the Tiele-Winckler family, a copy of the Blessing Christ by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770 - 1844), erected in 1890. The marble original can be found in the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen. After more than 100 years, the 3.50 meter tall copy made of cast zinc with galvanic copper plating was severely damaged by erosion and threatened to topple over. The Rotary Club Waren / Müritz, together with many sponsors, raised a total of 25,000 euros to restore the monument, including the base and metal fence. After extensive restoration work, the monument has now shone again in its former glory since 16.05.2013. It is regularly maintained by the Rotarians. Information about the services can be found here.

Interior decoration, stained glass and historic bronze bell
In the interior, the wooden barrel vault, which was inserted in the middle section during the restoration of 1883, is striking. The simple furnishings are based on the neo-Gothic style. The flowery stained glass in the pointed arched windows is striking. A small bronze bell by the Wismar master Albrecht hangs in the tower - a rare example of medieval craftsmanship that can also be found in other church buildings in northern Germany.
Thorvaldsen copy in the Poppentin church cemetery

The marble original can be found in the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen.
