Brilliant church, all the rooms are open. So you can not only see the church itself, but also take a look behind the scenes, really worthwhile.

The Heinrich Schliemann Museum was established in 1980. It is dedicated to the most famous son of Ankershagen, Heinrich Schliemann, the world-famous excavator of the ancient cities of Troy, Mycenae and Tiryns. The Schliemann Museum is one of the most important museums in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. After Berlin, it has the most extensive material and scientific collection on the famous archaeologist. In his autobiography, Schliemann writes that he had already made the decision to search for and excavate Troy at the age of eight. His childhood experiences in Ankershagen must have had a great influence on his later life. Ankershagen can point to a long history, a rich world of legends, a knight's castle and many witnesses from ancient times. They obviously permanently inspired the imagination of the young Heinrich Schliemann. ankershagen.de/heinrich-schliemann.html

The Bornsee, Trinnensee, and Mühlensee were the original source lakes of the Havel River. To power a watermill, a dam was built on the southern shore of the Mühlensee in the Middle Ages, and the lake's water was diverted via the Mühlenbach stream toward Ankershagen. After further human intervention, the Havel source was relocated to its current location in 2007. Stones and information boards at the source provide information about the river's course.
