    St. Michael's Church, built by monks from Corvey Abbey, has stood on the Heiligenberg hill since 1078. Until the 16th century, it served as the parish church for the three surrounding villages of Ovenhausen, Lütmarsen, and Bosseborn. After the Thirty Years' War, it was extensively restored in 1693 under Christoph von Bellinghausen, Prince-Abbot of Corvey.

    The church, with its Baroque furnishings, is a popular venue for weddings. General services are also held here on special holidays.

    The Michaelskapelle is not directly on the route, but a detour is worthwhile, as there are places to stay in the shady woods.

    It is a very tranquil chapel for inner contemplation. I was grateful that it was still open when I arrived and that I could be enchanted by its interior.
