Culture and sights
Railway viaduct
The most famous building in the area is the Lengenfeld Viaduct , a railway viaduct on the Leinefelde – Treysa railway line . It spans the place over a length of 237 meters, the height of the tracks is a maximum of 24 meters above ground. The construction history of the railway line refers to military reasons, which is why the strategic railway was given the nickname cannon railway . After the cessation of railway operations at the end of December 1992, the viaduct and the tracks were to be dismantled. However, this has so far been prevented by the establishment of an operating association and the designation as a monument to traffic history . The Eichsfelder Kanonenbahnverein has been operating a bicycle and draisine route on the route since May 15, 2006 .
Catholic Church
The new building of the Catholic Church of the Birth of Mary on the Kirchberg in the south of the village was built in neo-Gothic style between 1882 and 1884. It was consecrated on August 11, 1898 and is part of the Südeichsfelder Krippenweg . Among the paintings inside, Joseph Richwien's depictions of the Stations of the Cross should be emphasized. The organ with 26 sounding registers comes from the organ builder Robert Knauf from Bleicherode .

The writer Beate Bonus , a friend of the artist Käthe Kollwitz, lived at the castle in the 1920s .
