Wöpkendorf Manor House
In the former estate park on the west side of the village lie the remains of walls and moats of a medieval castle complex with inner and outer baileys.
The former estate village of Wöpkendorf, owned by the Melms family after 1811, became insolvent in 1931 and was parceled out to settlers from Baden-Württemberg.
