In connection with the expansion of the Raben Steinfelder Oberdorf into a princely summer residence, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II commissioned the construction of twelve residential buildings along the Leezener Landstraße in 1863 for the families of the stud keepers involved in the Grand Ducal horse breeding operation. The Grand Duke commissioned his trusted court architect H. Willebrand to design these houses, whose neo-Gothic formal language is strongly reminiscent of the English country house style of the early 19th century. This impression is further reinforced by the predominantly English use of brick and the exposed brickwork in decorative patterns of yellow and red bricks. Stepped gables and decoratively designed chimneys and chimney pots complete the impression of English country cottages – all in all, a sensational, unique architectural ensemble for Mecklenburg.

Banzkow's potato mouse, made of stone, has stood in the village square since 2000 and warmly welcomes all guests from near and far. This special mouse is dressed in original costumes for various village occasions and stands at the center of several typical boulders, each adorned with medals from state, national, and European competitions. The potato mouse was created to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the municipality of Banzkow and has since become an integral part of the community. It is available not only as a large wooden mouse made from a Lewitz oak tree in the Mirow district, but also as a small souvenir version and as a living original with an ID card as resident number 2235. The stone mouse is made of granite stones.

The drawbridge is currently closed. It can't be opened. Therefore, the waterway is currently impassable for larger boats in both directions. The bike path along the Stör Waterway isn't affected by this, however. For the "Störkrug" restaurant, it's a good idea to read the Google reviews and get an idea. The path along the water is "natural or gravel, with coarse gravel in the lower section, like in the Lüneburg Heath or similar areas." 🙃
