Since then, Bäbelin has remained a monastery village until it joined the Domanial Association of the Neukloster Office in the middle of the 16th century and was a branch church of Neukloster from 1568.

The Bäbeliner Church, built in the 15th century, is a small two- bay hall building. Parts of the masonry are made of field stone , window and door frames , buttresses and some connecting surfaces are made of brick . The foundation is made of field stone.
