The (almost without exception) well-preserved half-timbered houses dominate the spacious village square in Hostel. Often, the founders' inscriptions can still be read on the beams of the timber framing, many of which indicate construction in the 1680s.

I was particularly impressed by the comparatively large St. Nicholas Church, which, together with the rectory and the castle behind it, forms a harmonious ensemble on a hilltop. The small hall church was built in 1834 from fieldstones and corresponds to Schinkel's standard church design in neoclassical style, complemented by an added tower.

The church was built of rubble stone in 1834/35 and extended in 1913. Its architecture is attributed to the Neoclassical style and it is also listed as a historical monument.

In 1348, a squire named "von Hausen" is documented as having come to this area. In the 16th century, the moated castle passed from the noble family "von Hausen" to "von Berg" to Bens. Through inheritance and marriage, the castle came into the possession of Dietrich Kolff, but the Kolff family line died out in 1832. The castle had been repeatedly expanded up to that point and was later divided into two estates. Today it serves as a hotel and restaurant.
