Gotische Backstein-Hallenkirche, 1296 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt, heutiger Bau überweigend aus der 2. Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts.

Octagonal basin with arcade of shallow trefoiled arches carved and painted on the sides; rosettes and human heads in the spandrels, and additional rosettes atop the columns of the arcade; on octagonal pedestal base of splaying sides, moulding at the centre ring; the pedestal was recently [2012] restored to its original proportions, as it had lost part of its top part. Noted in Brick Gothic Heritage [http://bricks.eurob.org/index.php?node_id=69&lang_id=1&ds_target_id=742] [accessed 20 April 2013]: "Als einziges Ausstattungsstück hat sich ihr Taufbecken erhalten, eine der schönsten Gotländer Kalksteinarbeiten in Norddeutschland." Noted and illustrated in Müller (2012). In Becker ([s.d.)]. The entry in Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marienkirche_(Anklam)] [accessed 16 April 2023] notes a Gotland limestone font of ca. 1330. A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 19 September 2023) notes: "The baptismal font is made of limestone from the Baltic island of Gotland and dates from around 1330. It is decorated with floral and mask motifs and was originally also coloured. Following the taste of the times, it was removed from the church in modern times and stood around as a flowerpot by the roadside in the 19th century. In the 1930s it was brought back into the church and placed in the choir" [i.e., chancel]
