The building and grounds are owned by the Paffenholz family, who have transformed it into a beautiful garden. The family transformed the yard, formerly a concrete yard, into a flower oasis with a vegetable garden and a deadwood pile for wildlife.

Easily accessible by RE 5 from Berlin and Stralsund. The building is in a very sad state.

The route leads from Hamburg via Franzburg / Richtenberg, Trondheim and Ăbo/Uppsala/Stockholm to Vadstena, where the grave of Saint Birgitta is located.

Next to St. Mary's Church, the brick-red, cylindrical water tower dominates Grimmen's skyline and is visible from afar. At 32.5 meters, the second tallest building in the city was built in 1933 as part of a central water supply for the then 5,500 residents.

The Greifswald Gate is one of three gates that still exist in Grimmen. The gate, built between 1350 and 1400, was part of the city's medieval defense system. It was badly damaged by a lightning strike around 1800. The late Gothic brick building was rebuilt a little smaller and less adorned due to tight budgets. In 1980, the Greifswald Gate was extensively renovated.
