The small town at the south shore of the lake Arendsee.

The town has a modern beachpool, a health care clinic, a sailor port with boat rental and many other facilities to spend one's leisuretime. Surrounded from needle and pine woods, Arendsee is the favourite vacation spot in the region for over 125 years.

The famous abbey is located approximately 100m from the shore.

Founded by Count Otto I. it was the cloister of the Benediktin's. After the county had converted to the protestant belief the cloister became a ladies' retirement home.

The church became part of the town Arendsee. Today, the church and the relicts of the abbey are a part of the so called "Romanic Street". Numerous carved figurines and the hexagonal "Baptisement-Stone" are as well very important remains of ancient times as well as the altar with the cross wich is one meter high.
