The Apostles' Church was once a Romanesque church in terms of its foundations, but it underwent some structural changes in the 17th and 18th centuries. Due to its close location to the Weser, this parish church is also known as the "Weser Church".

This church is not only open to visitors such as hikers and cyclists - Master Adebar and his family also move into the stork's nest placed on the roof every year. Every year, stork offspring are eagerly awaited.

The Evangelical Apostle Church in Ovenstädt is Romanesque in its original core. It was first mentioned in 1204, but is considerably older. The historic baptismal font dates back to 1100. The tower, with a loophole on the south side, served as a place of refuge and defense for the population. After being destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, the church was rebuilt in 1640 and converted into a late baroque peasant church in 1772, with pictures of the apostles on the organ gallery. It has been preserved in its original form to this day: a historical rarity!
