The church was built in 1709 as a harmonious timber-framed structure. The exterior walls are unplastered, and the panels (the spaces between the timbers) are carefully filled with brick. The roof is covered with red clay tiles (a traditional roof tile shape). A striking feature is the church tower, which was added in 1907. It is constructed of fieldstone and brick and is topped with a pyramidal spire covered in tiles.

The striking neo-Gothic manor house in Pinnow was built between 1862 and 1869, commissioned by Friedrich von Klinggräff (1825–1887). Constructed incorporating an older tenant farmer's house, it is considered one of the most original manor houses in Mecklenburg (a brick building in a square layout with an inner courtyard, towers, wooden galleries, and rich furnishings). Friedrich von Klinggräff, a Mecklenburg landowner, parliamentarian (a member of parliament in the 1848 Revolution), and founder of the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV), was a devout Lutheran and patriot. He had the house built as a "truly German, simple, pious house" intended to educate the youth. The architects were initially Conrad Wilhelm Hase and Carl Schäfer, and later Heinrich Wiethase. After 1945, the expropriated house served as living quarters, the administration of an agricultural production cooperative (LPG), a post office, and the town hall. It fell into severe disrepair, but from 2012 onwards it was renovated in accordance with historic preservation standards by private owners.

Nice selection of very good quality

It was built between 1862 and 1869 on behalf of the von Klinggräff family. The building is a brick structure, laid out in a square, with a small courtyard at its center. The courtyard front of the manor house, which features numerous extensions, wooden galleries, and decorative elements, features a tower-like central section with a wooden porch. The estate was owned by the von Aschersleben family in 1612, by Reimar Ernst von Voß in 1668, and by the von Klinggräff family from around 1700 until 1945. After expropriation, the manor house served as residential property, the community, as a post office, and the headquarters of the LPG administration. In the 1970s, it began to be gradually vacated, and by the 1980s it had stood empty. In 1996, the "Arbeitskreis Denkmalpflege e. V." (Working Group for the Preservation of Historical Monuments) took over. The dilapidated building was leased on a long-term lease and began documentation, cleanup, and preservation work, but these efforts stalled. The manor house is surrounded by a landscaped park, laid out in the 19th century, with a magnificent tree population. A barn and a few outbuildings remain from the former large farmyard. In 2012, new owners were found for the dilapidated manor house. Since then, it has been renovated in accordance with historic preservation regulations.

A visit to the village of Alt Rehse is worthwhile. There are many beautiful, well-kept houses and gardens.

The manor house, built around 1850 in the Neo-Gothic style, displays the coat of arms of the von Maltzan family above the entrance portal. In the 15th century, the estate was owned by the von Kargow and von Bardenflet families, and from 1443 onward, by the von Maltzan family. They pawned the estate to Jakob Zitwitz and Hans von Blankenburg. Through marriage, it later passed to Friedrich von Walsleben, who pawned it to Ernst Friedrich von Kosboth at the beginning of the 18th century. Finally, in 1786, the estate returned to the possession of the von Maltzan family, who remained the owners until the estate was settled in 1938. The manor house has been used for residential purposes ever since. In the 1990s, extensive restoration work was carried out on the manor house, which is owned by the municipality. Even today, the manor house is used primarily for residential purposes, but also for events. The former park has been fragmented by allotments and a sports facility.

In 1908, Dr. Adolf von Buenger acquired the estate. Between 1905 and 1914, he had almost the entire village demolished, subsequently rebuilding the manor house, the estate, and the village. The manor house is a two-story, plastered building with a colonnade and a gazebo, built on a fieldstone base. The entrance hall, with its original wood paneling, extends over two floors, and a wide staircase leads to a gallery. Between 1945 and 1990, the manor house was used as a training center by the Neubrandenburg District Cultural Academy, after which it stood empty for many years. The manor house is privately owned. Adjacent to the stately home is a small park with a meadow as its centerpiece. The entire estate, including the inspector's house, stables, and barns, is truly worth seeing, but is in a state of disrepair.

The previous owners were the von der Lancken family from 1788 to 1811, and from 1811 onward, Hofrat Siemerling. The Neumann family ran the farm very successfully, using the latest technological advances. Many residential buildings were equipped with modern plumbing in the 1930s. They also built a narrow-gauge railway to Penzlin together with the Puchow landowners. After the end of World War II, the Neumann family was expropriated and expelled. Refugees moved into the manor house, and later the school and other municipal facilities were also located there. On the gable of the house are two coats of arms: the right one depicts three golden ears of corn, the left one a beehive with six bees. The manor house has been restored in recent years and houses a hotel and restaurant. Source: https://gutshaeuser.de/de/guts_herrenhaeuser/gutshaeuser_l/gutshaus_lapitz
