The Warsow Church is a Gothic building and the oldest church in the Stralendorf district, probably built in the 12th or 13th century. The interior is brick-walled. The ceiling was originally vaulted. Its choir is constructed from an octagon, and its tower is extended into the single-nave space in such a way that it appears to grow out of the roof. Its retaining walls stand at the bottom of the church and divide the front part of the nave into three parts. The tower supports an octagonal pyramid covered with slate. In 1863, the windows were enlarged, thus depriving them of their original form. In 1891/1892, the church was expanded and its interior renovated. In the 1970s, work on the roof and interior became necessary, resulting in the loss of some of the wood paneling. A baptismal font, pulpit, and pews from 1892 have been preserved, as has the old carved altar screen on the north side. During the renovations from 1974 to 1976, a simple altar table was installed.

The village of Kirch-Jesar is more than 700 years old; the name Jesar is likely derived from Slavic and means "lake." As early as the 14th century, a chapel stood in Kirch-Jesar, which presumably fell into disrepair after the Thirty Years' War. In 1717, the Duke of Mecklenburg's court marshal, Johann Christoph von Halberstadt, had the new church built in a simple style. The wood-clad tower with its slate roof was not added until 1847, as was the interior. A few years later, a bell from a workshop in Wismar was added. In 1881, the church received an organ by master organ builder Johann Heinrich Runge. The gallery had to be specially lowered to accommodate the instrument. Around 1913, the painter Willi Schomann, originally from Parchim, created the mural "The Last Judgment" on the choir wall. The church is Protestant and belongs to the Kirch-Jesar parish.

Good asphalt, also easy to drive on with a road bike. Lots of tractors on the road though :-)
