The St. Nikolaihof looks like a small, idyllic village under old oak trees. It is a fully preserved medieval residential complex with several farm buildings and a chapel.
The farm was founded around 1200 as a leprosy for the city of Lüneburg under the supervision of the Bishop of Verden (first mentioned in 1251).
As a so-called “house for the poor sick”, the facility belonged to the city of Lüneburg. Initially, lepers were housed here in order to isolate them from the city gates for fear of infection.
Around the 14th century, after the disease had died out, the farm was converted into an old people's home that people could buy into.
The facility is still used as a social facility to this day.
In 2009, the St. Nikolaihof was included in the federal/state program “Urban Monument Protection”.

The St. Nikolaihof is a historical attraction of outstanding importance. Several residential and commercial buildings from the 14th to 18th centuries are grouped around a Gothic chapel. If you walk through the idyllic complex and the adjacent forest, the Eichhof, you feel like you have been transported back several centuries in history.
