The miller's house on the Ulrichshusen estate (in Tressow) is a historic building on the estate grounds, now used as holiday accommodation.

The name derives from the Old Slavic word "gvoru" (water bubble) and roughly translates to "village by the lake." Groß Gievitz was first documented in 1316 in a land division agreement between Princes Johann II and Henning von Werle.
