The Mönnigsee, also known as the Mönningsee, is an oval, natural lake approximately one hectare in size. The lake was first documented in 1541 as "the little munch."[1] In 1655, it was listed as "dem Seechen der Mönch genandt" (called the little lake of the monk) or "Daß Mönch Seeichen" (Dash Mönch Seeichen). The spelling "Moench-See" (Moench Lake) is documented for 1772; in the Schmettauschen map series from 1767 to 1787, it is called "Der München See" (The Munich Lake). In the original survey map 1:25000 No. 3846 Wünsdorf, which was drawn in 1841, the lake is again recorded as "Mönchs See" (Mönch's Lake).

The village church of Paplitz is located in the original village center of the circular village. It is an unadorned building that has been reshaped several times, presumably of medieval origin. In the course of bloody wars for feudal rule in the land between the Elbe, Oder and Spree, several well-fortified castles were built by the German royal power in the area of the state borders in the 11th century, for example in Beeskow, Baruth and also Paplitz, which was then called Popelicz. A German castle was built in Paplitz with a mighty defense tower and a large fieldstone hall in the center. The complex was surrounded by a high wall made of field stones. In the 13th century the complex was partially demolished, the stone hall and parts of the fortified tower remained and were used for clerical purposes. During the Thirty Years' War the building was burned down by Swedish troops and remained in ruins for several years. In the 18th century it was rebuilt in the Baroque style. The roof and façade design of the hall also underwent serious changes, and window openings were created. Remnants of the original castle were built into the foundation area of the church tower and in the masonry of the nave and still bear witness to the eventful history of the building.

The postal column, about 4.50 m high, is a replica of a historic postal mileage column in Saxony and was inaugurated in 2014. It is reminiscent of the Saxon past of the city of Baruth, which only went to Prussia in 1815 as a result of the Congress of Vienna. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Saxon Elector Augustus the Strong had such post miles erected on the post roads throughout Electoral Saxony. The eye-catcher of the column is a coat of arms of the Electorate of Saxony with a gilded crown and the Polish royal crown with the royal Polish-Lithuanian coat of arms. August the Strong was also King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. As a distance column, the obelisk shows the hours of walking that one needs to get to the various places by horse (1 post mile = 2 hours for a horse running normally = 9,062 meters).

The listed farm is idyllically located outside of the village directly on the edge of the forest with an unobstructed view over fields and meadows.
