Tips from the Community
It is hard to miss when driving through Löcknitz. The tall tower rises above the low buildings of the town and is visible from further down the main street. A good, short stop along the way.

Sufficiently wide for a bicycle with a trailer and a stroller. Flat surface, hardly any inclines. Occasionally roots pushing up the asphalt.

The church is a half-timbered building with a roof tower with a dome. A church bell stands in front of the church.

A well-paved bike path runs parallel to the main road. It's a great place to cover some distance.

The small, rectangular plastered building was built in 1828 and received a neo-Gothic west tower in 1869, and the west gable was also designed as a stepped gable. The nave is divided by pilaster strips. The windows and the south portal are round-arched. The interior has a flat roof. The furnishings include high-quality carved figures: a floating baptismal angel, the risen Christ and a trumpet angel, all from the first half of the 18th century. There is also an octagonal baptismal font and, of course, the simple pulpit altar. Small stained glass ornaments are incorporated into the windows. The cemetery is located on the western edge of the village (Dorfstr. 43), where there is a modern funeral hall, a small hereditary burial ground made of brick (possibly also the old mortuary), and there is also the grave of a soldier who fell in the last days of the war.

The Jatznick church probably dates back to the 14th century. The fieldstone building was probably built in the 14th century. The year of construction is unknown. The west tower with half-timbered top and curved hood was added in the 18th century. The church was extensively renovated in the early 1990s.

In 1638, Georg and Dorothea von Eickstedt donated a single-nave Renaissance hall church with a barrel vault, a square west tower and a five-sided east end. The family built the first manor house in 1609 and the second Rothenklempenow manor house in 1761. The church was renovated in 1738 and received its current appearance with the closed wooden lantern on the baroque octagonal tower top. Above the south portal there is a large inscription cartouche framed by pilasters with the donor coat of arms of the von Eickstedt family. The baroque furnishings have been preserved inside. The large pulpit altar from 1738 has an elaborate acanthus carving on the pulpit basket and the cheeks. The canopy above the pulpit with a rich crowning is supported by columns. The prospectus of the "ruler's box" dates from the same period.
