In the center of the parish is built around 1280 Katharinen Church in Embsen. It was donated by the Barnstedt castle master Manneke of Estorff for the salvation of his son and replaced in 1380 by a Gothic building. Striking is the free-standing wooden bell tower.
The family of Estorff has to this day patronage in the parish and is still closely associated with the Katharinen Church.

The church in Embsen is a reliably open church and invites you to meet and contemplate.
