The Wanzka Church was consecrated in 1290 as part of a Cistercian monastery founded between 1275 and 1283. Many noble ladies entered the monastery, including Anna, the daughter of Duke Ulrich I of Mecklenburg-Stargard. After the Reformation, the monastery came under secular administration in 1545, and the church became a parish church in 1555. The monastery complex was largely demolished, but the church, the monastery gate, a ruin, and the Fangel Tower survived. After a fire in 1833, the church was restored in the 1840s and extensively renovated in 2016/17. The church consecration festival is celebrated in September.

The Wanzka Monastery Church is a significant example of North German brick Gothic architecture and is located in the Wanzka district of the municipality of Blankensee. It is closely linked to the history of the Cistercian Wanzka Monastery, which was founded between 1275 and 1283. The monastery complex was solemnly consecrated on January 25, 1290, by Bishop Heinrich von Havelberg. The monastery originally developed from the Broda Double Monastery near Neubrandenburg and served for many years as a spiritual home for unmarried daughters of the regional nobility. One of the most famous abbesses was Adelheit, the only daughter of Duke Ulrich I of Mecklenburg-Stargard. With the Reformation, the monastery was secularized in 1549, but continued to exist as a Protestant women's convent at least until 1584. During the Thirty Years' War, many of the monastery buildings were destroyed or used as quarries, so the complex survived only partially. The original monastery church was a single-nave brick basilica with a 5/8 chancel. After a devastating fire in 1833, the church was rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style between 1840 and 1843 under the direction of the architect Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel. The church received a flat wooden beam ceiling and a redesigned west façade. Particularly noteworthy is the Neo-Gothic altarpiece from 1905, featuring a Crucifixion based on a painting by Peter Paul Rubens, designed by the artist Berta Zarnekow. In 2016 and 2017, the monastery church underwent extensive renovations. Among other things, the roof was re-tiled, the façade was restored, windows were repaired, and the ceilings and walls were repainted. The ceremonial rededication took place on September 3, 2017, by Bishop Andreas von Maltzahn. Today, the monastery church serves as a Protestant parish church and belongs to the Wanzka parish in the Mecklenburg church district of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany. In addition to its religious use, it also serves as a cultural venue for concerts and other events. Visitors can tour the church and enjoy the peaceful, contemplative atmosphere on the shores of Lake Wanzka. Current information and event listings can be found on the Blankensee community website.

The Wanzka Mill is a historic mill ruin in the Wanzka district of the Blankensee municipality. It is located near Lake Wanzka on the Nonnenbach stream, in the heart of the Nonnenbachtal nature reserve. The mill was originally built in the 16th century as a grain mill and later developed into one of the largest milling sites in the Mecklenburg-Strelitz district. Partially destroyed during World War II, the mill remained in operation until the 1950s, continuing to supply electricity to the surrounding area. In the GDR, there were plans to make more intensive use of the Nonnenbach stream's hydropower, which is still evident today in the mill's structural design – with several water chambers for wheels and later turbines. Today, the Wanzka Mill is a three-story ruin and a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. It offers not only impressive insights into the region's technical and industrial history but also picturesque views of the surrounding lakes and hills.

Imposing building that underlines the former importance of the place.

Very suitable for a short break to cool down and relax.

Small bathing establishment...freely accessible, plenty of places to sit. Longer jetty with ladder or direct access to the water...unfortunately a bit overgrown with weeds.

Take a short break and linger.

As early as the 13th century, Weisdin belonged to the von Peccatel family (also: von Peckatel), a now extinct Mecklenburg noble family. They built a castle here, the remains of which are still preserved. The ruins on the southern bank of the Middle Lake are one of the better preserved hilltop castles in Northern Germany with clearly visible remains of the main and outer baileys, keep and moat.
