A beautiful little church. Right next door is a village museum—the old fire station—and an information board about the village's history.

The lock was built from 1876 to 1881 according to the Finow standard and replaced by a new one in 1968. The waiting areas for pleasure craft in the upper and lower waters were extensively renovated in 2015. With over 35,000 passages per year, it is one of the most frequently used pleasure craft locks in Germany. The lock is a self-service lock. The Waterways and Shipping Authority in Eberswalde is responsible for its operation. https://www.reiseland-brandenburg.de/poi/ruppiner-seenland/schleusen/schleuse-wolfsbruch-kleinzerlang/
