The early Gothic brick building was built in the 14th century. The square tower (r) bears a Romanesque diamond-shaped spire, which is unique in Mecklenburg. https://www.auf-nach-mv.de/reiseziele/a-dorfkirche-dorf-mecklenburg

The Hohen Viecheln bathing area is located on the northern shore of Lake Schwerin. It features a very large lawn for sunbathing, offering space for games and sports. A jetty leads into the water. The shore is sandy and gently sloping.

Considering its size (not particularly large), the church has some powerful struts at the back. It looks like someone was trying to stabilize the church.

On this small bridge you can see a small fish ladder on both sides. About 200m further on by the fish ponds there is also a small café.
