The current town hall on Marktplatz was originally built as a city school in 1837/38 and was only used as a town hall from 1939 onwards. The absolute highlight is the carillon with 14 bells. It is considered the landmark of the city center.

The circular route (approx. 10 kilometers) leads close to the shore, so you almost always have the lake in view. The Arendsee is the largest natural lake in Saxony-Anhalt and, with depths of up to 50 meters, one of the deepest in Northern Germany.

There are play areas for children at many points along the circular route around Lake Arendsee.

A good hiking and cycling path surrounds the lake in every season.

The small wooden tower stands right on the water. From the top, you can get a good view of the lake. I think it's a good spot for a short break. The Gartov observation tower is very easy to reach on foot or by bike.

Arendsee Monastery was founded in the 12th century as a Benedictine monastery and experienced its heyday in the 15th century, when it housed approximately 70 nuns. The daily routine was strictly regulated and consisted of prayer, work, and the administration of property. The nuns also maintained a monastery school and cared for the sick. In 1540, the monastery was dissolved and converted into a women's convent and an electoral domain. Today, the monastery church, a three-aisled pillar basilica of Romanesque brick construction, is one of the region's most important sights. Cultural events such as concerts, theater performances, and exhibitions are regularly held there. Today, the former Arendsee Monastery is a cultural and tourist destination. The monastery church, a well-preserved brick basilica, serves as an Evangelical Lutheran parish church and is still used for religious services. Concerts, theater performances, and exhibitions are regularly held on the former monastery grounds. Visitors can tour the historic complex and gain insights into the history of the monastery.

Gustav Nagel (1874–1952) was a well-known nature lover, itinerant preacher, and life reformer who worked at Lake Arendsee in Saxony-Anhalt. On the site named after him, the "Gustav Nagel Area," he erected several buildings, including a lakeside temple and a spa hall.
