For us, the archway in front of the church became a shelter from a rain shower. It was just enough for 2 bicycles and 2 riders. In front of the arch it said: open church, but looking up at the sky, we didn't visit but rode on.

The church was open, but the interior was blocked off by a door, which allowed one to look through and see the altar. Unfortunately, many churches are blocked off, so this one stood out in a positive way. The Uckermark region is very beautiful in general; I hadn't heard of it before.
