The Evangelical Lutheran St. George Christopher Jodokus Church (formerly: von Behr’sche Gutskapelle) in the Walsrode district of Stellichte (Lüneburg Heath) is a Renaissance church with a completely preserved, rich and uniform interior. Along with the Celle Castle Chapel, it is considered one of the most valuable and best-preserved Renaissance churches in northern Germany.

The Celle castle chapel, built at the end of the 15th century, served as his model. Carl Wolff wrote in 1902:

A beautiful church with a bench in front of it invites to a rest under the chestnut. Right next to it a toilet house that was highly praised by my companions during the hike.
