The Kirchsee is the lake in the town centre of Preetz. The original settlement of Preetz is situated on its western shore.

The lake has an area of 10 hectares (25 acres), is up to 6 metres deep and lies at an elevation of about 20 m above sea level (NN). Today the lake is nearly surrounded by built-up areas.
