The former royal forge was built around 1800 in the Neo-Gothic style and served as a picturesque architectural feature with a visual connection through the church garden to the castle. Since 1911, the Gothic House with its adjoining hall has been used as an inn. The old inn - Queen Luise bowled here and Fontane stayed overnight.

Ice cellars for storing natural ice were, before the invention of refrigeration, the privilege of kings and wealthy landowners. Later, ice cellars were also built for communal use. This is likely the case with the ice cellar located behind the Paretz barn in the Rohrhaus garden. It is one of three ice cellars that once existed in Paretz. While the two located in the royal gardens no longer exist, the ice cellar built around 1850 was restored by the Historical Paretz Association in 2007 and opened as a small museum in 2010.

The so-called "Gothic House" was built in 1803 based on the model of English period buildings. The building is a stuccoed structure with a rectangular floor plan and a half-hipped roof. The hall extension dates from 1910. It was originally the royal blacksmith's shop, and around 1910 it became part village blacksmith's shop and part inn. After 1918, it was simply an inn, and since 1938, it has been a family-owned restaurant and beer garden. The building is a listed building.

Well, it's a shopping hell, all done up nicely. However, I'm also grateful that it's here because on long trips, you can stock up on supplies at the gas station or various fast-food restaurants, and get a coffee or a snack on the way through.
