Sea eagle guarantee. On the 1st building of the poultry farm in Neu Gaarz sit the sea eagles, wondering about the many cyclists. Neu Gaarz, look to the right.

The church in Groß Dratow was originally a rectangular fieldstone building from the 13th century. During restoration work in 1908, an 18th-century timber-framed extension to the east was removed, the nave was extended to the east, and a five-sided apse with three round windows was added. https://www.dorfkirchen-in-mv.de/content/Version_1/detail_gesamt.php?Reg_Nr=884
