Of the Marienfließ monastery, the oldest Cistercian monastery in Prignitz, today only the monastery church remains, which is used as a parish church. In 1829 a wooden ceiling was installed and a new roof turret was installed. In 1900 the interior was renovated. The church is open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The former water mill is located on a side arm of the Stepenitz, which used to be the main arm. It has not been in operation for a long time, the paddle wheel is missing, but the original purpose of the building is still recognizable.
