St. Willibrord Church Neetze
Highlight • Religious Site
Its gem is the late Gothic altar, which was created in the first half of the 15th century, but also contains elements from a much later period, including Low German inscriptions from 1959 on the wings. This altar ended up in Neetze by a route that has not yet been clarified; it was intended for the retirement home of a Lüneburg monastery abbot.
Also noteworthy is the pulpit (made around 1600) with the symbols of the evangelists and a pelican. The organ, built in 1869, is a listed building.

Bleckede Castle
Highlight • Castle
After the fall of Henry the Lion, the Guelphs lost control of the Artlenburg Elbe crossing and Bardowick's trade routes towards the end of the 12th century. Bleckede was therefore founded in 1209[2] as a town by Duke William of Brunswick and Lüneburg as a new trading centre under the name Löwenstadt / Lowenstat on the Elbe. The name chosen in memory of Henry the Lion did not prevail. The place name Bleckede is probably derived from the Old Germanic "Blek-ithi", blek and -ithi mean bright, free, light place, and originated from the earlier German and Wendish settlement Bleketsa and slavicum Bleckede.
