Tips from the Community

July 10, 2025, Sankt Urbani Kirche Munster

St. Urbani Church is one of the most beautiful old heath churches. A few parts of the original stone church building, dating back to the 13th century, are still preserved. The focal point of the room is the carved winged altar from the 15th century, depicting motifs from the Passion of Jesus Christ. The bronze baptismal font dates from 1432 and is one of the most beautiful in the area. More information: https://www.munster.de/home/tourismus-freizeit/sehenswuerdigkeiten-3/kirchen/st-urbani-kirche.aspx The church is located on the Oertze lowland, right in the historic center, but on a very large, undeveloped park.

The watermill was first mentioned in 1556 and operated until 1949. The city of Munster acquired the mill in 1975. The Café Restaurant Zur Wassermühle is located in the heart of the city of Munster in the Lüneburg Heath.

Here the Örtze is relatively free and natural. This fallen willow does not give up and sprouts again.
