coat of arms

The Stroit coat of arms shows a silver Dutch windmill at the top and three green rushes with bulrushes at the bottom, in the shield, which is diagonally divided from blue to gold. There is a green mountain in the base of the shield. The Stroit windmill is a so-called Dutch windmill, where the cap can be turned. It is said to have been Dutch settlers who reclaimed the formerly swampy area in Stroit and south of the village. The rushes should remind of this original landscape. The mountain in the base of the shield is the common emblem of the villages "Auf dem Berge". The color blue-gold indicates that it belongs to the former Duchy of Braunschweig .

church

The first church building is said to date from the 12th or 13th century and was probably once consecrated to John, as it is in the corridor of the "Johannisanger". The old church had a peculiarly sloping choir, was a massive building that was probably built in two periods. The masonry consisted of colored sandstone . The roof was covered with sandstone slabs from the Solling . Around 1619 the nave was fitted with a flat ceiling. In 1880 it was demolished because it was in disrepair.

In the spring of 1888 the construction of the church in Stroit began under the direction of the government master builder Sieburg. It was inaugurated in 1890. The new church, built in the neo-Gothic style popular at the time , is relatively large for the small town: approx. 30 m long, 12 m wide, the tower is 41 m high.

During the renovation carried out between 1964 and 1965, the interior was painted light and discreet, the wooden furnishings were left in their natural color.

A crucifix found in the church attic was restored on the recommendation of the regional church office and covered with gold leaf. This old crucifix now adorns the apse of the church and can - even if it is only classified as "a fairly craft-like, baroque work" - can be described as historically valuable.

In the course of the church renovation, a grave slab from around 1690 was also uncovered in the chancel. From the text it can be read that Stroit and Brunsen already had a pastor together back then. This sandstone slab was also restored and placed in the entrance area of the church.

In 1996 the church got two new bronze bells. The big bell bears the inscription: "Blessed are those who hear God's word and keep it". The organ dates from 2003.

War memorial

In front of the church there is a memorial for the local victims of the First World War and the Second World War .

The Stroiter Mill is an important technical monument not far east of the village center.
