Briest Castle is a stately home made of oak wood, built according to the inscription in 1624 in the transitional forms from late Renaissance to early Baroque. It is one of the last remaining noble seats of this kind in northeastern Germany. The chapel Briest was built in 1599 as the first Protestant chancel in the Altmark in half-timbered construction.
