    Only ruins remain of the former monastery barn. It was built between 1220 and 1275. It is considered to be the oldest secular brickwork in Mecklenburg. There are different views as to how it was originally used.

    The ruin is freely accessible and can be visited at any time.

        In Althof, the ruins of the old monastery barn, a Cistercian building, are worth exploring. It is considered the oldest monastery agricultural building in Mecklenburg. A few meters further on, a chapel rises, which owes its current appearance to a 19th-century renovation of the old building. A gravestone commemorates Woizlawa, the wife of the Wendish prince Pribislav, who is buried here.
