Boitin Church

The present church in Tarnow is thought to date from the 14th century. The Gothic church with two naves and four brick bays, with pointed vaults, was divided in such a way that women and men were seated separated by a row of pillars. The church has an altar with a carved central sanctuary dating from the 15th century.

The church was built in the 12th and 13th century as a fortified church. At that time only the nave stood. The tower was only added in the 18th century and today it offers living space for two kestrels and a barn owl.

Rühn Monastery is a former Benedictine monastery founded in the 13th century. It became a Protestant convent for ladies from 1567 to 1756. The monastery was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, but it was rebuilt and reintroduced to its function. In the 19th century, the monastery area became the private property of several noble families of Mecklenburg. After the Second World War, it was used as a shelter for war refugees, settlers and orphans. From 1950, a Jugendwerkhof (JWH) was established there, which was dissolved in 1991 and the buildings remained empty for almost 15 years. The monastery is now owned by an association.
