St. John's Church

The brick church measures 65 meters in length and 44 meters in width, with a central tower reaching 108.71 meters into the sky.

Construction of the church began in 1289, with the majority completed by 1372 and the tower finished in 1384 after extensive building phases.

The interior features a 15th-century wooden altar depicting the crucifixion, surrounded by scenes from the Passion and Easter narratives.

The church opens Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 4 PM, offering guided tours and regular musical performances on its historical organs.

The church tower leans 2.2 meters from vertical due to construction issues, making it a noticeable architectural feature in Lower Saxony.
