In the 14th-century Bamme still belonged to the margrave of Brandenburg, who had given it to Thile and Gerke Kotho as fiefdom. In the 16th and 17th-century it belonged to those of Lochow but they had to give in 1677 to the District Administrator von Briest because they were heavily indebted to him. The little rural village is interesting most of all through a nearby windmill from 1569. It is the oldest still preserved post-mill in the Havelland.
Highlight of rural live is the annual mill festival. Interesting is also the little church because here a church clock is ticking since 1756 that has to be wind up by hand. The organ goes back to a thirty-nine-year fundraising action in the 19th-century. In 1929 two steel bells were hung up in place of the one bronze bell, with the meaningful inscription: "Dem Feind zu wehren ward ich entsandt in Bronze 1916 und Gott zu ehren ich neu entstand in Stahl 1929."
