After a major town fire in 1702, the gate was rebuilt with some structural modifications. From 1976 to 1991, it housed the Tribsees Local History Museum (a small local history museum), which later moved to the Stone Gate and finally to another building in 2007.

Construction of the church began around 1280 using the typical regional brick. The western part of the nave was not further built until the 15th century using fieldstones and a church tower was built. The nave was doubled in length. The gable of the east wall has a Lorraine cross. It is unclear when and why it was installed here. The current tower roof dates from the 18th century. The church was re-consecrated in its current form in 1878 after a major renovation. The windows were also redesigned during this Gothic renovation. The sacristy built on the north side, like the southern extension, probably dates from 1878. Access to the tower's viewing platform is no longer possible after the last repair in 1998. The organ was built in 1841 by Carl August Buchholz. It was donated by Wilhelm Ulrich von Thun. From: Wikipedia

The Protestant church in Franzburg is the surviving southern transept arm of the former monastery church of the Cistercian monastery of Neuencamp from the 14th century. The building is the remains of the Cistercian monastery of Neuencamp (mother monastery of Hiddensee). The monastery was dissolved during the Reformation. The Pomeranian dukes had a castle built here from 1587. The castle chapel was built from the remains of the monastery church. During the Thirty Years' War, Franzburg was plundered and destroyed by Wallenstein's troops. Between 1660 and 1678, the remains of the castle were demolished. Only the former castle church has survived. Worth seeing are a sandstone epitaph with life-size figures (1615), a crucifix from the 16th century and a Madonna on the crescent moon (15th century). https://www.auf-nach-mv.de/reiseziele/a-kirche-franzburg

Bad Sülze received its town charter between 1255 and 1262. The first news of the church in Sülze comes from 1276. Accordingly, this church was built in the middle of the 13th century as a brick church in the Gothic style in competition with the town church in Marlow, which was built around the same time been built. The spire was destroyed by fire in 1770. The burning tip penetrated the roof of the nave but remained on the vault. It was not until 1892 that the tower received a new, straight, neo-Gothic top. The town church has a longitudinal nave with two square bays with late Gothic star vaults. The east side with its rising arched frieze is closed off by a beautiful gable. On the north side there is a beautiful recessed portal crowned with three Gothic eyelashes. The altar, which replaced the one destroyed by fire in 1770, is noteworthy. The key is available in the parish office or in the “Cafe Wunderbar” for tours. https://www.auf-nach-mv.de/reiseziel/a-kirche-in-bad-suelze
