Lüner Mill and Abbot’s Mill
Highlight • Historical Site
While the "Lüner Mühle" milled for the Lüne Monastery, the Michaeliskloster passed on its "Abtsmühle" to a council family. The tower from 1530, the "Abtswasserkunst", conducted water into the city and was already supplying individual patrician houses at that time. The ensemble is now owned by a hotel. "

Dat Heringshus - Old department store got its baroque facade in 1742, this is the only thing that was saved after the fire.

Ilmenau Drawbridge, Bardowick
Highlight • Bridge
At the Viti-Furth, the steel bascule bridge from 1965 leads over the Ilmenau. It was inaugurated on 9 April after 8 months of construction
The crossing of the Ilmenau has been at this point at an early stage. According to history, here in 782 Marianus, who taught the Gospel in Bardowick, was slain.
A bridge, however, was first mentioned here in documents in 1059. The medieval engravings by Frese and Schlöpken already show the construction of a bascule bridge.
The last wooden bascule bridge dates back to 1888. It is now mentioned in some written essays that it was rebuilt after its demolition in 1964 in the Technical Open-Air Museum in Hagen (Westphalia) as a museum piece. However, research by webmaster "bardowick.com" has shown that this statement is unfortunately not correct. From a Bardowicker bridge there is nothing known.
