The parish church in Boitzenburg was built in the second half of the 13th century. It was first mentioned on July 25, 1271, in a deed of gift from the Margraves of Brandenburg to the Cistercian monastery of Boitzenburg. The church is located on a hill near the highest point of Boitzenburg. The building is an elongated rectangular fieldstone hall with a four-story west tower from 1650 and a polygonal chancel closure made of brick, which was added in the 18th century. In the 19th century, the church building was extended to the north and south by transept-like, Romanesque-style additions.

The large meadow with a playground and a few benches is certainly the most pleasant place to spend time at the Oberpfuhl and in the Lychen town area. Boats can dock, and you could even go on a boat tour yourself, but unfortunately, there's no suitable swimming spot. No water treading either. - Still. It's absolutely idyllic here, not least because of the beautiful tall trees and the peninsula-like shape of the area.

Unfortunately it's too late in the year to go swimming, but it would be great in the summer.
