Buildings

• Vogeler's house is a timber-framed farmhouse built in 1803, which has been restored down to the last detail and has been used as an event center in the village ever since. This is also the seat of the Holtorf Heimatverein , which played a key role in the restoration.
• The parish church of St. Martin in the Protestant parish of Holtorf was first mentioned in 1096. Today's brick - timbered church , which is essentially medieval, was built from an originally Romanesque building in over ten construction phases . The year 1580 carved over the south door probably stands for the end of the last building phase. The Romanesque baptismal font was restored in 2008, an altar design by André Alder remained unworked.
