Culture and sights

• The Herring Catcher Museum consists of four buildings. Here, the cultural, social and economic relationships between the herring catchers recruited from this region since the end of the 18th century and their homeland are presented.
• Heimsen, with his Wallholländer, is a location on the Westphalian Mühlenstrasse and a destination on the Mühlenroute . In 1873 the windmill was built as the successor to a ship mill and a post mill. The mill tower was built from masonry and plastered bricks on a broken stone base.
• The Gut Neuhof is a former Gutsanlage with a mansion . It's private property. The facility is accessible to the public to a limited extent and is used as a fully stationary residential facility as part of the integration assistance.
• The Heimser church was built in the early 12th century. The church tower was built in 1205. While three sides of the tower were erected freely, the fourth side was placed on the west wall of the church.

At the main entrance there is an arched field above the door from the time the church was built. The original interior ceiling was made of simple woods. The late Gothic groin vault , drawn in around 1510, turned out to be too heavy. In order to prevent the church from falling apart, external support pillars had to be installed.

The church was badly devastated during the Thirty Years War . The stalls were burned. The church pews, newly built in 1664, are still in use today.
