The name Museumsdorf Seppensen has only officially existed since 2012. This makes it one of the youngest of the German open-air museums. It owes its existence to the voluntary commitment of active members of the Buchholz and Surroundings History and Museum Association. V., above all its founder Gerhard Kegel (1934 - 2008) and the in-house researcher Dr. Ulrich Klages (1938 - 2007), in cooperation with the city of Buchholz.

Development began with the opening of a small local history museum in 1980 in the old Seppens village school. The provisional conclusion is the construction of a historic smithy in 2013. During this time, a small farming village, characteristic of the northern heath, gradually developed. The individual buildings are pleasingly grouped around a central village square. These are the more than 300-year-old Sniers Hus from Regesbostel near Hollenstedt with its outbuildings, a bakehouse from Kampen and a drive-through barn from Otter, the historic smithy from Lüdingen, Rotenburg district (Wümme) and the old Seppenser village school. The school is the only house that has not been converted. The large doors of the buildings open to the central village square. From there, the farm wagons could get inside the houses to be loaded and unloaded, even into the village school.

The four half-timbered houses rebuilt in the Museumsdorf Seppensen were saved from total loss. They are not only representative of the traditional rural house landscape of the northern heath around 1850, but also reflect the living and working places of the social groups in our old villages.

An old mill and a beautiful mill pond - drive around once worthwhile.

The lake is very pretty. The mill is unfortunately completely dilapidated and rather only a stain. Too bad.
