The first documentary mention of Blankenhagen comes from the year 1233. It was made by an episcopal decree on tithing in the parish Ribnitz. The church was first mentioned in documents on 23 August 1318 and belonged to the Archdeacon Rostock in the Middle Ages. Founder and builder of the church was the noble family of the Moltkes, who also held the patronage. The first mention proves that a Johann Moltke donated a vicarage in the church to Blankenhagen for the priest Ghodefridus. The church is built of field stones. Stylistically, it belongs to the transitional period between Romanesque and Gothic. On the gables, as well as the window and door openings bricks were used. The two-choir choir has a flat eastern end. North of the choir is also made of fieldstone a sacristy. The transition from the rib-vaulted choir to the flat-roofed nave forms a triumphal arch. Some parts of the church date back to the 13th century. The wooden west tower with four-sided pyramidal helmet and a southern half-timbered building were later built. In the east wall of the choir there is a three-part pointed-arch window with a round window above. A portal on the west side was walled up.

The village of Rövershagen was first mentioned in a document dated March 17, 1305 and must have been an extensive settlement at that time. The city of Rostock founded two jugs here, one of which was "by the new church". In the Middle Ages, the church belonged to the Rostock archdeaconate. Schlie dates the construction time to the first half of the 14th century. A wooden tower with an eight-sided pyramid spire was replaced by a brick tower in 1900. The baroque altarpiece with three paintings and four statues of the evangelists dates from 1708. The paintings show the Last Supper, the Resurrection, the Ascension of Christ. The pulpit is from 1593. It was repaired in 1684 and 1783. On the north wall there is a triumphal cross from the 16th century, at the four ends of which there are evangelist symbols. A depression in the pit of the heart was probably used to store a relic. On the south wall of the nave there are two frescoes, a fragment depicting Saint Andrew and the larger than life figure of Saint Christopher. These were painted over in the 19th century and were uncovered in 2004. The mechanical organ with seven registers on the west gallery was built in 1869 by Friedrich Friese III. The console has two manuals and a pedal. It is original, only the prospect pipes have been renewed. A repair took place in 2005. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Rövershagen
