Lowered Water Level at Scharsee

Highlight • Lake

The Scharsee is a typical shallow body of water with a lowered water level. The lowering took place between 1930 and 1932 by 1/2 m through the expansion of the Schellhorner Au.
This is how this topographical terrain mark came into being.

Oak avenue at the Sophienhof estate

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

A 400 m long oak avenue leads south to the estate. The road is very beautiful because it is slightly winding and hilly.

Kneeling Baptismal Angel in Preetz Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel already had underfloor air heating when it was built. This still heats the chapel today (modernized) to a pleasant 18°C for winter events, as the sexton told us during a private tour.

Sophienhof Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel was built in 1873 in the Byzantine round-arch style, as is common in the Russian Orthodox Church. The Lübeck merchant Nikolaus Johanssen, owner of the Sophienhof estate, had the chapel built by the Riga architect Heinrich Carl Scheel (1829-1909) - based on the model of the Russian churches in the Baltic States that he knew from trade relations. The Russian church in Baden-Baden also served as a model.

The entrance area of the chapel consists of a vestibule with three open arcade arches, above which the inscriptions "Glory to God in the highest" and "For the wanderer to contemplate" are written. The central building is designed as a cloverleaf choir, over which a dome was built. In the middle of the choir stands a baptismal angel on a marble base, which was created for the chapel by Eduard Lürssen.

In 1962 the chapel became the property of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Preetz
