The building was constructed around 1250, without a tower, using brick. The medieval roof structure over the nave has not survived, and instead there is an unusual early modern construction consisting of two unconnected substructures, built in 1665 and 1695, which reused usable timbers from the medieval predecessor roof structure.

The estate manager's house in Schwandt is part of the historic estate, which was first documented in 1273. While the original manor house was razed to the ground in the 1970s, leaving only a few remnants of the walls, the stables and the smithy remain as part of the estate. The estate belonged to the von Voss family until 1752, before passing to the von Schlieffen family. The last owner of the estate was Lieutenant General Karl Count Schlieffen, whose son, Otto Count von Schlieffen, took over as lord of the manor in 1897.
