Buildings
The church of Mellinghausen , of supra-local importance, was first mentioned in a document in 1277 and is consecrated to John the Baptist . The original church , built in Romanesque style from field stones , was rebuilt in 1893. After the old choir was torn down , a new, larger choir with a transept made of bricks in the neo-Romanesque style was added. The two construction phases can be easily distinguished from the outside due to the different construction methods. A Mellinghausen bakehouse built in 1606 has been part of the Syke District Museum since the 1990s .
