history

Until the 16th century, lawn iron stone was smelted here in Rennöfen and processed in forest smithies. Such a forest smithy was reconstructed two kilometers south in 2007.

In 1677 Francesco Maria Capellini, known as Stechinelli , the postmaster general of Duke Georg Wilhelm von Celle , acquired the noble estate in Wieckenberg. In 1692 he had a baroque chapel, the Stechinelli Chapel , built according to his designs , from the outside in a rather simple half-timbered style. In 1699 the chapel was consecrated as a Protestant church. Ludewig Friedrich von Beulwitz later acquired the estate.

There is a riding stables opposite the chapel.
