Good wild boar dishes, although with a snack bar character. Not exactly cheap.

The mill was first documented in 1530 and originally belonged to the Lindow convent (later the Lindow ladies' convent and office). It is one of the last remaining water and windmills in the region. In the Middle Ages, it served the monastery, which was one of the richest in the March of Brandenburg. Fires destroyed parts of the complex in 1805 and 1846; it was rebuilt afterwards. The current two-story main building dates from 1848 (or reconstruction after 1846) and is an example of Prussian rural architecture.

The baroque terraced garden has been elaborately restored. The division into axes emerged from the existing stock. The altitude of the garden parts was determined based on the building fabric and excavation findings. The lake parterre received two broderie compartments in an elongated outline, as was customary at the time of its creation. A modern form was developed for the undocumented broderie. In the subordinate southwestern parterre, a lawn parterre seemed appropriate, the ornamental structure of which was also designed in a modern style. Garden stairs were not documented from the Baroque period, but were necessary for use.

Viticulture is probably not typical in this area around Gransee, but where a count or today the government resides, a vineyard is also established. It is certainly idyllic to look at and we enjoyed it.

The wooden bridges are for the most part still in very neat condition, although clearly no longer brand new and already quite mossy.
