The Hohen Viecheln Church was built around 1310/20 and is a Gothic building without a tower. A parish already existed here in 1178, and there was also a settlement here in the Mesolithic period. Similar to the gravestone of Queen Margaret in Doberan Minster, the "Knight of Hohen Viecheln" was also created as a gravestone, but retained its place on the wall. The gravestone was created in the 14th century.
