After the political change, the Floto family bought back the manor house, which they had bought from the Flotows in 1903 and which had been expropriated after 1945. In 2000, they had it renovated true to the original in accordance with monument protection regulations. The round-arch vaults were restored on the old foundations and expanded for use for celebrations. The house, surrounded by a beautiful 8-hectare park with a chapel and pond (ca. 1800), is now used for residential purposes. It is the birthplace of Friedrich von Flotow, probably the most important composer in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

If you want some "adventure" you can go past the path to the stone and through the forest on the other side.

Very nice loop around the lake with restaurant, volleyball and playground. It is worthwhile as a running destination to make a few more kilometers through the approx. 1 km long lake loop.
