Remains of a late medieval motte-and-bailey castle, consisting of two motte-and-bailey castles situated in a marshy pond. Villages founded by immigrant settlers in the Middle Ages usually included a small castle complex. These were built by members of the lower nobility, who, as locators, led a group of immigrants. The actual castle consisted of a ring ditch surrounding a small hill. In Klein Plasten, the moat even encloses two low hills. The settlement, initially consisting of only a few farmsteads, bordered the motte-and-bailey castle. From this settlement, the present-day village of Klein Plasten developed.

Today, the tower stands as a relic of the estate's heyday. It is considered a local historical monument in the lake-rich landscape. It likely served to supply water to the estate and surrounding buildings, typical of 19th-century rural complexes. A precise construction date is not documented in the available sources.

The estate comprises, in addition to the main castle, other buildings including a coach house (with 29 rooms in a Spanish country house style, extended in 2003), a residence, a garage, and a warehouse. The steward's house – typically the residence of the estate manager on historic properties – was located in building number 37.

Former workshop as part of the estate; typical for craft use in manor houses of the 18th/19th centuries. No detailed construction years are known, but it is in the context of the baroque manor tradition.

The single-story Groß Plasten manor house was built in 1751 as a stucco building with a mansard roof in the Baroque style. In the mid-19th century, the von Michael family, who owned the approximately 574-hectare estate before the Great Depression until 1945, added a two-story transverse building with a lakeside terrace. The renovations, carried out from 1891 to 1893, were overseen by Privy Councilor Georg Daniel. Today, the site houses the Groß Plasten Castle Hotel.

To the west of Torgelow Castle is the relic of a rectangular, medieval tower hill castle. Only two sections of the former moat remain. The hill extends about two meters above the moat.
