    The stone church from the 13th century is just outside the village. According to historians, either the village had fallen into disrepair and was rebuilt a little further west, or the parts of the village east of the church were not rebuilt later.

    What is special about this church is the large number of mysterious chessboard stones. (schachbrettsteine.de) as well as a rare stone in which a Jerusalem cross has been engraved.

      Interesting church building made of field stones. The church has an unusually high number of seven checkerboard stones in the outer masonry, as well as a stone with a Jerusalem cross, which is unique in the region.

        Typical regional field stone building from the 13th century, which, like e.g. the church in Prädikow, has the enigmatic chessboard stones, about whose origin and purpose there are different interpretations.
