The interior of the church has a flat roof, and the interior furnishings date back to the renovation in the 1950s. Older Schwerin residents in the parish will remember that Protestant youth groups often gathered in Cramon for their summer meetings: the rectory has a special reputation among them. Today, the rectory has been sold, and the rectory barn was in danger of falling into disrepair. But, miraculously, residents of the surrounding villages came together with the parish to transform the barn into a radio play barn, which has also become a meeting place for the entire village and the surrounding area.

The bridge on the way from Cramon to Schönfeld-Mühle makes it possible to cross the Stepenitz with dry feet. We owe this to Mr. Reimann, an allotment garden owner, who unselfishly stabilized the bridge over several years until 2014.

Beautiful stone bridge over a stream in the course of a meadow and forest path.

Next to the church there are some beautiful old thatched farmhouses. Behind the last farmhouse on the left in the direction of Schönfeld, a little-used path leads to the stone bridge that crosses the Stepenitz. Behind this bridge, a path leads right past the Stepenitz and Wendelstorfer to Wendelstorf and then on to the entrance to Dalberg. The path is also easily passable by bike.

The Johanniter Church is located near the shore of the Groß Eichsener See. This brick church is one of the larger village churches that can be found here in Mecklenburg. This stately village church was built in the first half of the 14th century. The mighty three-storey west tower was built in the 15th century. The St. John's Cross can be seen on its roof. In the church there are remains of ornamental grisaille painting, which are believed to date from the 17th century.

The village church of Cramon is a brick church that was built in the 14th century. In this church, the narrow connection between the church tower and the nave is quite noticeable. This prevented the facade of the nave with its decoration from being covered by a church tower right next to it.

The small bathing area right next to the parish barn is particularly recommended. If the weather is good, you should definitely try it out and, with a bit of luck, have a chat with the local people.
