If you're a cyclist making a church stop, this is the place to go: For me, it's the most worthwhile of the three main churches in Brandenburg, because the place has a great aura.

The village church is a simple, Baroque plastered building dating from 1765 with a choir, nave, a small transept, and a west tower with a turret. Inside, the church features a wooden altar screen. The organ dates from 1861 and was built by the Berlin organ builder Wilhelm Remler. It stands on a wooden west gallery above the entrance, slightly bulging around the organ and richly decorated with paintings. (Wikipedia) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fohrde
