The round tower dates back to the 13th century and was built as a Bergfried (residential tower and defensive tower) of a castle. The castle itself was first mentioned in documents in 1295 as Castrum Clempenowe. It served to secure the Pomeranian state border (near the border with Mark Brandenburg/Uckermark). Ancestral seat of the noble family von Eickstedt, who owned and inhabited the castle for centuries (the family has been documented there since the 13th century). The name Fangelturm (Catch Tower) came about later because the tower was temporarily used as a prison - a typical repurposing of many Bergfrieds in the late Middle Ages and early modern period. Over the centuries, the rest of the castle complex largely fell into disrepair. Only this tower has survived from the original complex.

The manor house is relatively inconspicuous, but its deep red color makes it visible from afar. It is located in an elongated rectangular estate with farm buildings and a baroque landscape park (with old trees and a fieldstone wall).

Here in front of the Löcknitz-Penkun office there is a bronze statue of the former night watchman Bartel, who was on duty here with his cat over 100 years ago. In my opinion, the area around the statues could have been designed a little more beautifully. As it is, they are standing more or less directly at the crossroads!

After the end of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), Löcknitz was largely in ruins, with only the castle and the fortifications and the castle mill remaining. The rivers Welse and Randow now formed the new border between Brandenburg and Swedish Pomerania. As a result, Löcknitz with its fortified castle became an important Brandenburg border fortress against Sweden after 1650.
