The Protestant Church in Wankendorf is the parish church of the Wankendorf parish. After the parish was separated from Bornhöved in 1892, plans began to build a separate church. The location chosen was the middle between the villages of Wankendorf and Stolpe, which belong to the parish. The foundation stone for the building was laid on August 3, 1894, according to plans by the Hamburg architect Hugo Groothoff. On December 16, 1894, the church was inaugurated by the general superintendent Justus Ruperti. The neo-Gothic church building made of red brick was built on a cruciform floor plan with a rectangular choir. There is no church tower, instead there is a roof turret with a bell tower above the crossing. A sacristy is attached to the choir to the southeast. The windows are mostly pointed arches, but the transept has round arches. The main portal with a winged arch is on the west side, smaller side portals are located under large round windows in the facades of the transept. Stylistically, the Wankendorf church is similar to the church previously planned by Groothoff in Aukrug-Innien. The dimensions and proportions are also roughly the same in the rural church buildings he subsequently built in Brokstedt, Hamburg-Eidelstedt and Hennstedt. The wooden pulpit from the time the church was built has been preserved. The original baptismal font was stolen in 1915 and replaced by a piece made around 1900. The leaded glass windows in the choir windows depicting the Ascension of Christ date from 1914. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelische_Kirche_Wankendorf

Since 2010, a long piece of Bornhöved's history has been presented in the rooms of the old thatched cottage. An entire room is dedicated to Bornhöved's most famous sons: the painter Charles, the archaeologist Ludwig and the doctor Gustav Ross. Here, a piece of old times is visible in the pictures of Charles Ross. In addition to countless writings, handicrafts from days gone by and the replica of the golden Gönnebek bowl, numerous other valuable individual pieces are on display. The local museum "De ole Rökerkaat" in Bornhöved, Kuhberg 5 is open on Sundays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. https://www.bornhoeved.de/urlaub-und-freizeit/sehensw%C3%BCrdigkeiten.html
