The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Prillwitz is a remarkable example of regional architectural history. The original nave dates back to the Middle Ages, while in the 18th century a half-timbered church was built, presumably on the foundations of the previous building. At the end of the 19th century, the church received a new tower in the Neo-Gothic style, the half-timbered walls were replaced with masonry, and the exterior plastering was renewed. The interior is simple, with a late Gothic pulpit and an altar from the early 16th century. The organ was built by Barnim Grüneberg in 1892 and restored in 2014, making it an important instrument in the region. Prillwitz is picturesquely situated in the Tollense Basin of the Mecklenburg Lake District.

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.

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
