Today's Old Prison was once a school, built in 1774. Historical furnishings can be seen in a small schoolroom. Annually changing exhibitions on the history of the village and its surroundings are held on the upper floor from Easter to October.

Due to a lack of space, a new school had to be built just under 100 years later, which already had 245 children enrolled in 1851. The old school, no longer needed, served as a place for the Rammenau night watchman to let drunkards sleep off their drunkenness.
