The Prerow church, built from 1726 - 1728 in the so-called Swedish period under pastor Martin Henrici, is a brick hall church with a wooden steeple from 1727. It served as a landmark for seafaring, as the Prerow stream was open to the sea side, allowing access to the harbor and the Bodden waters.
As simple as the brick and wood church appears from the outside, it has been richly decorated on the inside. Already the model ships from the 18th and 19th centuries point the visitor to a formative shipping tradition. On December 13, 1690, a fisherman from Copenhagen was stranded off the coast of Prerow. The father of the young man who met the sailor's death had an oil painting made of the rescued property of the ship and donated it to the church. The late Baroque pulpit altar (1728) and the richly decorated baptismal chapel (1740) - a little church in the church dedicated solely to the celebration of baptism - is an indication of how much it was worth to the ancestors. The organ was built in 1848 by the Nerlich company in Stralsund.
