Located in picturesque surroundings, one of the largest village churches in Lower Saxony is the St. Dionysius Church. The village is named after the church. According to legend, Charlemagne founded the first church here as early as 795. It was named after Charlemagne's patron saint, Saint Dionysius, who was beheaded as Bishop of Paris in 285 during a persecution of Christians.

The current church was built in the neo-Gothic style on the site of the old church and consecrated in 1860. After renovation, it largely displays its original design and color scheme. Noteworthy features include the baptismal font (1608/1689), which was taken from the previous church, the painted wood grain in the pulpit and gallery panels, the coffered ceiling, and the striking altar backdrop. The romantic Furtwängler organ was faithfully reconstructed by the organ building firm Amadeus Junker (Meinersen).

The church is open daily from Palm Sunday until October until 7:00 PM for visitors and for private prayer.

The place is named after the church: According to legend, Charlemagne founded the first chapel here as early as 795. It was named after Charlemagne's patron saint, Saint Dionysius, who was beheaded around 285 as Bishop of Paris during a persecution of Christians.

According to legend, Charlemagne's camp, which he set up on what is now Kirchberg, caught fire. Miraculously, the relics of Dionysius, which accompanied Charlemagne on his campaigns, were the only things that remained intact. He is said to have built the first chapel at this time. In the following centuries, the church was expanded, added to, and remodeled until it had to be demolished in 1857 due to dilapidation.

The present church was built in the neo-Gothic style on the site of the old church and consecrated in 1860. After the renovation, it offers visitors a largely original design and color scheme. Notable features include the baptism font (1608/1689), which was retained from the previous church, the painted wood grain in the pulpit and gallery panels, the coffered ceiling, and the striking altar backdrop. The romantic Furtwängler organ was faithfully reconstructed by the organ building firm Amadeus Junker (Meinersen).

The center of the village is the Church of St. Dionysius, which is said to have been founded in 795 by Charlemagne, King of the Franks, five years before his coronation as emperor.
