The water tower is located in Havelberg's cathedral district and can be reached from the cathedral in just a few minutes on foot. It was built from red bricks in 1890 and rebuilt in 1933. Above the entrance, in addition to these dates, you can find Havelberg's coat of arms. Since the entry into force of the Saxony-Anhalt Monument Protection Act on October 21, 1991, it has been officially registered as a cultural monument. Originally, the tower served as a water reservoir for the city. In the early 2000s, the water supply was converted to deep wells and pumping systems, which led to the reservoir being taken out of service. Today, a restaurant (tower café and bistro) is located directly next to the tower, while the tower itself is no longer used for any functional purpose.

The church ruins, first mentioned around 1231, near the deserted village of Käcklitz. The tower of this church ruin in the early Gothic style is still open to the public as a lookout tower. The outer walls of the nave are also still preserved. A last service was held there in 1968. With the stationing of Soviet troops, the destruction began to take place. Hidden around the ruins in the tall grass, between wildflowers, lie old, barely decipherable tombs of former residents of this beautiful lost place.
