Discover Priborn: Manor House, Church and Müritzarm

Priborn combines a distinctive village setting with its waterside location on the Müritzarm. Other highlights include the neo-Gothic church dating from 1871, the manor house with its two towers, and a park with mature trees. The bathing area on the Müritzarm stretches from Vipperow via Priborn to Buchholz.

Manor House, Church and Village Life

Priborn Manor House stands in the centre of Priborn, south of the Müritz. An avenue leads from the road directly to the manor house, a two-storey brick building with two distinctive towers. It is set in a park of just under 3 hectares with mature trees. Priborn Church is neo-Gothic and dates from 1871. Visitors interested in architecture can compare two distinct features: the brick building with its towers and the neo-Gothic church.

The Müritzarm is part of the chain of lakes adjoining the Müritz to the south; its bathing area stretches from Vipperow via Priborn to Buchholz. A village festival is held in Priborn every year and is considered a social highlight. The bathing area and the village festival offer different attractions: one is associated with the chain of lakes, while the other is a recurring occasion in village life. If you are planning your trip around the festival, check the exact date in advance.

Nature and Water in the Mecklenburg Lake District

Müritz National Park is part of the Mecklenburg Lake District, a landscape characterised by forests, wetlands, lakes and extensive meadows. The Müritz National Park Hiking Trail covers the park’s landscape types and distinctive features over nine stages; it passes lakes, winds through ancient forests, goes by inland dunes and reaches the source of the Havel. Certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours through the national park, including guided visits to the UNESCO World Heritage beech forest at Serrahn and tours from the water. A multi-stage trail and guided nature tours therefore offer different ways to explore the area.

The Damerower Werder bison reserve is located on a peninsula in Lake Kölpin in the Mecklenburg Lake District and the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park. Visitors can observe the animals there. The reserve also has a woodland discovery trail with climbing features, an anthill house, an exhibition with tactile and visual panels, and a dendrophone. Animal watching and the trail’s stops offer different points of interest.

The waterways also differ in purpose: the Müritzarm bathing area extends through Priborn, while water sports enthusiasts can explore Müritz National Park and the Strelitz Small Lake District from Neustrelitz City Harbour via the Upper Havel Waterway. Thus, a locally described bathing area and a water route for exploring regional landscapes cater to different travel interests.

The Rechlin Aviation Technology Museum is located in Rechlin Nord. It offers another cultural attraction in the Mecklenburg Lake District, complementing interests in nature and water with a museum visit.
