From Wiki:
"The most important building in the village is the neo-Gothic St. Jakobi Church, which was built in 1876 by the well-known architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase in place of a previous Gothic building. Only the wooden bell tower remained from the old building; it has bells from the years 1564, 1970 and 1972 and a bell from the beginning of the 14th century. Today's church has partly very high-quality furnishings. A Gothic bronze baptismal font (around 1370) and the late Nazarene design of the chancel by the church painter Rudolf Schäfer (1956/57 ).The monumental Schäfer'sche redesign of the church is in tension with the moderate neo-Gothic conception of the church, but is interesting as a testimony to the times and faith: Wietzendorf was influenced by the Lutheran revival movement, which emanated from neighboring Hermannsburg from 1849 until the 1960s uninterruptedly noticeable."

The nave is from 1860. The wooden tower built in 1746 was renovated in 1972.
