It most likely originated during the major expansion phase around 1860–1870, when the estate was massively expanded and modernized. The ice cellar is located on the grounds of the estate, which also includes the castle (manor house), the distillery, a gatehouse, and various barns.

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).

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.

The history of the town dates back to the Middle Ages. To this day, you can admire the church from 1738 and the farm, which includes a half-timbered family estate built in 1761 and 19th-century buildings of a distillery, a steam mill, a cowshed, two barns, a stable, a sheepfold and a stable for carriage horses. The farm buildings were built of both stone and baked brick. Only part of the main tower of the castle (Fangel Tower), the seat of the knightly family von Eickstedt from the 13th century, has survived from the Middle Ages.
