Buildings

Each district has a village church that is well worth seeing. The churches in Harnekop and Prädikow date from the Middle Ages, while Prötzel has a baroque village church. The church in Sternebeck was built around 1710.

The crypt of the castle church of Prötzel was built in 1712 as a western extension of the nave. Initially used by the von Kameke family , the crypt vault served as a burial place for the von Eckardstein family from 1801 . In 1864 the direct entrance from the nave to the crypt was bricked up and an outer door was installed. This was also walled up after 1945. Since then, the inside of the crypt can only be reached through a small, barred window. The bars were broken in the 1990s, the coffins smashed and their contents ransacked. In January 2008 the tomb was examined by specialists. The eight roof chest coffins from the 19th century were made individually for the deceased and consist of a representative wooden outer coffin and an inner coffin made of metal, mostly zinc. Copper was used for an inner coffin, which is very rare. A coffin has iron feet in the shape of a lion's head that are painted green. Another coffin is decorated with black mourning ribbon and the handles are each decorated with a small putto. The coffins are filled with coarse wood shavings. Remnants of fabric from clothing and coffin fittings have been preserved, as well as remnants of pillows with different fillings (for example, fine matchstick-like wood shavings). Most of the human remains are skeletal single bones. In one case the body is partially mummified and a corpse is well and completely mummified. Airborne germ measurements were carried out to assess the health risk posed by bioaerosols during archaeological work inside the crypt. The results of this work show a greatly increased concentration of mold spores, especially Penicillium spores.

In Prötzel, the Prötzel Castle is a two-storey baroque building with an attached park.

The large underground bunker Harnekop , built between 1971 and 1975, is a modern building .
