The Church of St. Jacobi is an Evangelical Lutheran village church. It essentially goes back to the 11th century. The congregation belongs to the church district of Grafschaft Schaumburg in the district of Hanover of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover.

The church for the villages of Grove and Alekesdorp (Algesdorf) and Rodenberg Castle were built around 1040 by order and with the financial support of Count Adolf II von Rodenberg. Its foundations were made of field stones, but the actual construction was made of wood. A part of this building is still preserved as the southern wall of today's church. Bishop Bruno von Minden (bishop 1037–1055), a relative of the count, consecrated the church, either under the current name of St. Jacobi or as "Omnium Sanctorum" (All Saints).

On July 25, 1373, Saint James' Day, there was a stampede in the church. During a funeral mass for Magnus II Torquatus, Duke of Brunswick and Kalenberg, who had been killed the same day at the Battle of Leveste against the forces of Otto I of Schaumburg, lightning struck the nearby Kantorhaus and caused a panic . 23 people were trampled to death while fleeing the crowded church. The Bishop of Minden then rededicated the church in the name of "All Saints". For years, on the anniversary of the catastrophe, a mass was said for the victims, and a plaque with their names could still be seen in the church until 1840.

Today's St. Jacobi goes back to the construction of the village church, which was commissioned in 1040. It stands near the former moated castle.

Wonderful, simple little church, with an ingenious organ 😀
