Culture and sights
Village church

In the years 2009/2010, an expert report showed severe damage to the framework. In 2010, the renovation began in cooperation with the monument protection authority.
House Kulick
The Kulick house was built in 1666 on around 1000 acres of land and used as a grain distillery with an attached restaurant . After that, the owner of the building changed several times until it was finally bought by Gustav Broddak in 1893. In 1896 Broddak sold most of the land the house stood on, leaving all that was left to do with the economy.
No major changes have been made to the property since the year it was built, only the small hall was enlarged twice and finally demolished. In 1932 the house was extensively renovated and the Kulick family took over the building. This is where the name comes from. After the last daughter of the couple Frieda and Richard Kulick left the GDR in 1973, the building was sold to the state trading cooperative HO . After that, the economy was no longer doing well and was closed just a year after the takeover. At that time, at 308, it was the oldest inn in what was then the Lübben district.
After the closure, the Kulick building was used as a residential building and as a youth club until 1995 . After that, the building was empty until 2001. An application by the municipality to take over the house in municipal ownership was granted in 2000. Between 2001 and 2004 the Kulick house was restored using subsidies for around 900,000 euros.
