Attractions

The moated castle, whose origins go back to the early 14th century, is characteristic of the site. The building stock, decimated by demolition during the time of the GDR, has been maintained and renovated by the districts since 1990. In addition to the castle, large farms were built in the 19th century, which are in need of renovation due to the lack of possible uses.

Today's Protestant St. Stephen's Church was built in the classical style in 1838–1849 . Schinkel is said to have had at least the draft, similar to the one in Heudeber and Sargstedt . The Catholic Church has a chapel in Zilly.
