Former moated castle, late medieval residential tower with Renaissance additions and extensions, stair tower, two-storey, low, rectangular office building with hipped roof
In 1407 the settlement was granted town charter, in 1650, under Hessian rule, and is the smallest town in Lower Saxony. A fire in 1863 that destroyed the entire town was only survived by the town hall and the castle, which still has individual components from the Middle Ages (tower) and the 16th and 17th centuries (caryatid portal).
