St. Paulus Church Buchholz

Highlight • Religious Site

Bricks, Neugotik in small format, in the middle of the city: St. Paulus in Buchholz is a picture book church with a romantic flair. It has over 125 years on the "hump", but is beautifully maintained and invites a very different way:
The St. Paul's Church is relatively small, rather a village church - and yet it is the symbol of the city of Buchholz. Hardly a brochure of the city that does not contain her picture.

In 1892 the church was built, a neo-Gothic brick building typical of northern Germany. Until then, the churchgoers went centuries on Sundays to Hittfeld church, on foot, of course, twelve kilometers, because the small village Buchholz belonged to the parish Hittfeld.

With the size of the village, the discontent grew. The Buchholzer wanted their own parish.
The first step to break away was the own cemetery, which was inaugurated in 1864. To speed things up, the farmer Christoph Koch gave a bell to the community of Hittfeld - on the condition that it was hung up in the Buchholz church.

When the Buchholzer also got a suitable piece of land given, they could 1892 the foundation stone for church building.
Consistorial architect C. W. Hase, who had already built the church in Tostedt, designed the St. Paulus church in the neo-gothic style. Fundamental renovations were necessary in the fifties - in the course of which the side galleries were installed - and at the turn of the millennium with the redesign of the sanctuary by the Bremen artist Günter Gerlach.
The impression has remained that of a village church. The church is friendly and simple and invites to several days a week for sightseeing and silent worship. Only the organ, inaugurated in June 2000, reveals at first glance that a city community of almost 9,000 members is now meeting here for sophisticated church music and a variety of religious services.

Seppensen Museum Village

Highlight • Historical Site

At the beginning of the development was the opening of a small local museum in 1980 in the old Seppenser village school. The preliminary conclusion is the construction of a historic blacksmith's shop in 2013. During this time, a small farming village, which is characteristic of the North Heath, gradually developed. The individual buildings are kindly grouped around a central village square. It is over 300 years old Sniers Hus from Regesbostel near Hollenstedt with its outbuildings, a bakery from Kampen and a passage barn from Otter.

Holmer Watermill

Highlight • Monument

Gut Holm was founded on January 13, 1567. At the instigation of and as Lehn for Christoph von Hodenberg. The buildings are - except for the chapel - more recent. The establishment of the estate Holm was preceded by more than a year of political lobbying by the Weinsener Oberkreisdirektor of Hodenberg, until he had influenced bishops and dukes in his favor. The last baron Freiherr von Winterstedt died in 1838, his only son had fallen in 1814 at Waterloo, and so the estate Holm went into royal possession. Today, the estate is privately owned. The chapel of the estate is the oldest building in Buchholz and about the same age as the estate itself.
