Churches have always been very special places – much more than just buildings made of stone and wood
Unlike museums they transmit a very unique mood to their visitors and welcome them to a moment of silence and reflection. In the Heidekreis you can discover churches from every era and in every style: half-timbered churches full of atmosphere, Gothic brick buildings and idyllic manor chapels; not to mention one of the six ‘Heath Abbeys’ which are inseparably associated with the Lüneburg Heath. Sacred places of incomparable diversity – welcome to the world of faith in the Lüneburg Heath!
