The Alt Plestlin manor house is located northeast of the village, directly on the lowlands of the Peene Valley. Built around 1850 on the foundations of an older building, this two-story building with a basement and hipped roof is visible from the Peene River, especially during the sparsely planted season. The late-Classical plastered building features three-story central projections on the courtyard and park sides. The original pilasters are now missing, as is a balcony with a wrought-iron railing that once stood on the park side. The ballroom inside still retains a finely detailed stucco ceiling from the time of construction.

The building dates back to the hospital chapel of the St. Jürgen or Georgen Hospital, located northeast of the city in the Middle Ages. The chapel is depicted with a pointed tower on the Loitz veduta at the edge of the Lubin map. Dowager Duchess Sophie Hedwig had the building rebuilt as a cemetery chapel in 1619. The hospital's former cemetery was then used as the municipal cemetery. The round-arched Renaissance portal dates from this period. During the occupation of Swedish Pomerania by Napoleonic troops in 1807, the chapel served as a powder magazine. It was then used as a warehouse and mortuary until it was restored as a church in 1857. During renovations required in 1953, it was renamed the Luther Church. It is used by the parish as a winter church. On the south wall of the church are the gravestones of the royal Swedish district captain of Loitz, Michael Christian Schulemann (1668–1724), and the regimental pastor and assessor of the war consistory, Christian Friderici († 1709).

A bridge takes you over the Peene here. There are various theories about where the river's name comes from. One says that the name comes from the Slavic word Pěna, which means "foam". Whatever the case, the Peene originates from several source rivers, all of which have Peene in their name.
