Retzow Church Ruins

Highlight • Religious Site

The church ruin Retzow stands in the middle of the cemetery, which was once surrounded by a field stone wall. In the war between Mecklenburg on the one hand and Brandenburg and Pomerania on the other, which led to the conquest of Lychen in 1440, Retzow was destroyed along with the church.

The Retzow church was built as a rectangular stone building without a tower in the 2nd half of the 13th century. The church has a bevelled pedestal. A portal led from the west, two from the south to the church. The sacristy on the eastern part of the north side was connected to the church by a small door. The door vestments are all but torn down to small parts, the window walls, however, are largely preserved, especially the pointed arched east window. The hole for the locking bar of the west door is still clearly visible.

The belfry used to stand near the current parking lot. He was transferred to the cemetery in 1966 and renewed.

Nice that the bridge is there. But if you have a lot of luggage, it means: UNLOAD!

Bredereiche Lock

Highlight • Structure

A first lock was built from 1737 to 1739. A new lock was built next to the old lock between 1950 and 1952. It overcomes a height difference of 3.20 meters.

Scenic Cycle Path Between Zernikow and Seilershof

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Great nature on the right and left of the path. A bit bumpy from time to time. But overall really nice to drive!

A great alternative to the main traffic routes or the cycle paths directly on the street.

Havel Bridge, Priepert

Highlight • Bridge

It's hard to get past this bridge when cycling in the region. The place has a beautiful Havelufer, which you can see well from the bridge.
