Georgenkirche, Parchim

The parish church of St. George is the church of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of the same name in Parchim. The parish belongs to the Parchim Provostry in the Mecklenburg Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany. The church was built in 1289 in the center of the old town. After a construction period of eighteen years, it was probably consecrated in 1307; later it was rebuilt and extended several times. It is a three-nave and nine-bay Gothic brick building on a fieldstone base with a west tower. The original steeple was destroyed in 1612.
