In 1296—the date of the first recorded mention—Nicholas II of Werle sold Below and other villages around Sternberg to the Cistercians of Neuenkamp in Pomerania. The fieldstone church, 9 meters wide and 16 meters long, forms the center of the village. The wooden tower was built in 1542. The church's interior is richly painted. Images of central New Testament themes adorn the walls.
