Boniface Church
  • The Bonifatiuskirche was built in 1657 as a cemetery chapel on Harburger Berg. In the meantime, it was used as a garrison church from 1758 to 1902. 300 years after it was built, the half-timbered building was rebuilt on its current location in 1957. The pulpit donated by Duke Christian Ludwig dates from 1659, the altar from Großburgwedel from 1690.
  • The (since then reduced) holdings of the original court library founded by Duke Ernst the Confessors in the 16th century was merged with the around 40,000 volumes in the library of the (now dissolved) preacher's seminary in Celle-Klein Hehlen. The public, ecclesiastical scientific special library now has a stock of 62,000 volumes, which is accessible free of charge to anyone interested.
