History in the wider Dobin am See destination

The Buchholz Village Museum presents everyday life and regional history from the earliest settlement through to the present day. This long span of time differs from focusing on a single event or building: it encompasses everyday life and the region’s history across many eras. Check the current opening hours and visitor arrangements before your visit.

The site of the former Dobin Castle is now part of the municipality of Dobin am See, which was named after the castle. The Slavic castle was built in the 12th century by the Obotrite prince Niklot, between Lake Schwerin and Lake Döpe near Neu Flessenow. Dobin Castle is also associated with the fighting in 1147 between the Christian forces of Henry the Lion, Danish troops and the still-pagan Obotrites under Prince Niklot.

The Retgendorf village church offers a different cultural perspective: it is a Gothic brick church with a carved triptych altarpiece. While Dobin Castle represents medieval history, the church draws attention to architecture and carved furnishings. Beside a legendary-stone monument at the well-maintained starting point of the Niklot Trail in Retgendorf, there is an information board about the legend “The Castle in the Lake.”

A municipal cultural information item dated March 13, 2024, describes the Blue Eight route, where local legends can be explored on foot or by bicycle. This provides another way to discover the stories: as a route to explore on foot or by bicycle, rather than stopping at a single location to read an information board about a legend.

Water and regional orientation

The wider Dobin am See destination has numerous lakes that can be used for water sports and fishing. Retgendorf and Flessenow have natural bathing meadows and coves; both places offer opportunities to relax by the water thanks to their location on the outer part of Lake Schwerin.
