The small, rectangular plastered building was built in 1828 and received a neo-Gothic west tower in 1869, and the west gable was also designed as a stepped gable. The nave is divided by pilaster strips. The windows and the south portal are round-arched. The interior has a flat roof. The furnishings include high-quality carved figures: a floating baptismal angel, the risen Christ and a trumpet angel, all from the first half of the 18th century. There is also an octagonal baptismal font and, of course, the simple pulpit altar. Small stained glass ornaments are incorporated into the windows. The cemetery is located on the western edge of the village (Dorfstr. 43), where there is a modern funeral hall, a small hereditary burial ground made of brick (possibly also the old mortuary), and there is also the grave of a soldier who fell in the last days of the war.

In 1638, Georg and Dorothea von Eickstedt donated a single-nave Renaissance hall church with a barrel vault, a square west tower and a five-sided east end. The family built the first manor house in 1609 and the second Rothenklempenow manor house in 1761. The church was renovated in 1738 and received its current appearance with the closed wooden lantern on the baroque octagonal tower top. Above the south portal there is a large inscription cartouche framed by pilasters with the donor coat of arms of the von Eickstedt family. The baroque furnishings have been preserved inside. The large pulpit altar from 1738 has an elaborate acanthus carving on the pulpit basket and the cheeks. The canopy above the pulpit with a rich crowning is supported by columns. The prospectus of the "ruler's box" dates from the same period.

The hall building, made of neatly layered fieldstone blocks, was built at the end of the 13th century. After a fire in 1848, the square, but octagonal west tower made of red bricks was added in 1852. The neo-Gothic tower has a north portal. The bell chamber has staggered sound openings, in which hangs a bell cast by Carl Friedrich Voß in Stettin in 1852. An octagonal copper helmet rises above the four shield gables. The east wall has been reinforced by two strong supporting pillars since the 18th century. The pointed arch group of three windows was re-framed in brick in the 19th century by coupled arches on granite consoles. The east gable was rebuilt after the fire and has three staggered pointed arch panels framed in brick. The south portal is particularly outstanding with its profiled granite surround and heavy impost cornice. The windows in the nave were also fitted with neo-Gothic brick tracery after the fire. The interior has a beamed ceiling. The uniform neo-Gothic furnishings date from the period after the fire around 1850. The original pulpit altar has been set up separately since 1974. A polygonal baptismal font and a crucifix from the workshop of the Greifswald sculptor Max Uecker have been in the church since 1974. The west gallery stands on octagonal supports and has been glazed. In front of the north portal on the west tower is the war memorial for those killed in the First World War. The churchyard is surrounded by a fieldstone wall. A few hundred meters to the north is the parish cemetery. On it there is a memorial stone for the victims of the Second World War, a grave of an unknown German soldier and the elongated modern funeral hall. The cemetery is also surrounded by a granite stone wall.
