The former manor church was built around 1500 as a simple fieldstone structure with a thatched roof. During the Thirty Years' War, the church had to be rebuilt twice. At its core, it is a medieval church.

At a good 40 meters above sea level and directly on the banks of the Elbe River, a high medieval residential tower, the Klutturm, stands, and right next to it a neo-Gothic castle. These are the remains of the former castle complex and later the Rogätz manor.

The small canal that connects the Elbe-Havel canal with the Elbe near Niegripp was formerly used to pull ships from the bank into the Elbe using a rope and manual force. A very strenuous, poorly paid way of earning a living. It is always quiet along the canal. A small, almost secret path, a gem where beavers and nutria feel very much at home. At the turnoff to Niegripp you can walk a little further to a beautiful bench with a view of the Elbe meadows towards Rogätz. Here you can also see the Kilimanjaro in its most beautiful light.

In 1732, Friedrich August Fiedler built the Niegripp church on behalf of Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia. The floor plan is reminiscent of a Greek cross. A black rider with two lanterns rises above the red roof. Inside, the patron's box opposite the pulpit altar is striking: it is beautifully decorated and glazed. The "Soldier King" was a pragmatic man who wanted to strengthen his empire with immigrants. So that they could settle there, he often donated "the church in the village".
