The complex of the watermill
Coming along the "mill dike" you will meet a complex
of buildings (more than 150 years old) which under high old trees
form a picturesque entrance to the village.
This complex of the watermill used to be part of the Benedictine
monastery founded 1182 at Heiligenrode. Due to the successful measures
of preserving an environment of buildings, meadows, brooks, and ponds
it keeps the history of this place alive. Maintaining these historic
buildings renders a vivid example of what preservation of historic monuments
means according to the Law of Protection of Monuments in Lower Saxony.
