From 1239, Bützow was the main residence of the bishops of Schwerin. In 1248, a collegiate church was founded here, which is why the church was originally planned as a representative cathedral — unusually large for the small town.

This rest area hasn't existed for about two years. There used to be two covered rest areas along the entire route between Güstrow and Bützow. Now there are none, a disgrace for an international cycle route!
