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 Protestant village church in the small village of Meseberg, with its 150 inhabitants, was built in the early 16th century as a rectangular brick building on a fieldstone base. The late medieval plastered hall church is located in the center of the village on a hill in direct view of the castle. In 1772, the church was completely redesigned. A ship-high extension with a crypt and the adjoining noble gallery above was added on the north side. The tower was built in 1892 in rich Neo-Baroque style with an onion dome.
