Beautiful lake (one of three in Lindow) that can be walked around in just over an hour. Many beautiful (private) jetties all around, but also open swimming areas. In the forest around it is pleasantly shady in summer.

The mill was first documented in 1530 and originally belonged to the Lindow convent (later the Lindow ladies' convent and office). It is one of the last remaining water and windmills in the region. In the Middle Ages, it served the monastery, which was one of the richest in the March of Brandenburg. Fires destroyed parts of the complex in 1805 and 1846; it was rebuilt afterwards. The current two-story main building dates from 1848 (or reconstruction after 1846) and is an example of Prussian rural architecture.

The nun, named Amelie, was said to have been of extraordinary beauty. The young woman fled because she could no longer bear life behind the monastery walls. In a sense, she shared the same fate as Katharina von Bora,
