The water tower is located in Havelberg's cathedral district and can be reached from the cathedral in just a few minutes on foot. It was built from red bricks in 1890 and rebuilt in 1933. Above the entrance, in addition to these dates, you can find Havelberg's coat of arms. Since the entry into force of the Saxony-Anhalt Monument Protection Act on October 21, 1991, it has been officially registered as a cultural monument. Originally, the tower served as a water reservoir for the city. In the early 2000s, the water supply was converted to deep wells and pumping systems, which led to the reservoir being taken out of service. Today, a restaurant (tower café and bistro) is located directly next to the tower, while the tower itself is no longer used for any functional purpose.

Anyone cycling through Havelberg should let go of the handlebars, take a deep breath, and let their gaze drift. Havelberg Harbor is a kind of box seat overlooking the quiet spectacle of the boats, the glittering Havel, and the lively comings and goings on a small body of water. It's a lovely place to stroll along – along the shore, which is more promenade than quay, more invitation than infrastructure. Not only boats dock here, but also thoughts. And if you're hungry – be it for a fish sandwich, ice cream, or information – you'll find what you're looking for: restaurants and the tourist information office are right next door, accessible without a nautical license. Across the street, on the island, the campsite beckons. If you dare, simply stay overnight. Because what is already beautiful during the day becomes almost kitsch in the twilight: the view of the water, the scent of linden trees, the fluttering of a flag on the mast. And somewhere a rooster crows, even though it's long past evening. A place to linger—for a break or an entire chapter. Havelberg, in fact.

The old cathedral cemetery in Havelberg was established in 1788 outside the Havelberg cathedral district and was forgotten over the years until it was rediscovered for the 2015 Federal Garden Show (BUGA). Since then, the cemetery has been maintained and used as a tranquil park, inviting visitors to stroll. The Havelberg Local History Society maintains the cemetery's condition and regularly carries out maintenance work. In 2015, 70 gravestones were erected as part of the "Grave Design and Monument" exhibition.

The Flethe is also known as the site where the Burggrafenstein was found, a monument inaugurated on December 17, 1912, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the entry of Burgrave Friedrich of Nuremberg.

A very beautiful old building

Great city view. Tranquil little town.

The Havelberg Cathedral towers above everything. Just a beautiful sight.

The first town hall was built after 1310. In 1420, also known as Lobium, it had a courthouse like the town halls in Wittstock and Tangermünde. In 1627 the Danes destroyed the building, only the medieval vaults in the Ratskeller remained. It was rebuilt in 1678. The current building dates from 1854. In 1936, the former “Ratsapotheke” was included in the town hall complex during another renovation. With the support of urban development funding, the town hall was extensively renovated in 1995/96.
