St. Lamberti Church in Bergen is a Lutheran church with a long history. Its origins date back to the 9th century, and it was first documented in 1197. The current neoclassical church building was built in 1826/27 and expanded in 1900. It is a three-aisled hall church with galleries. A striking feature is the freestanding wooden bell tower from 1728. It houses four bronze bells, including two historic ones from the 17th and 18th centuries. The oldest bell, the Epiphany Bell from around 1500, is located in the church's ridge turret. The organ was built by the Alsatian company Muhleisen and installed in 1998/99. It has 34 stops on three manuals and a pedal and is renowned for its sound quality. The church is an important place for music, history and community life.

Bergen's town hall was originally built in 1910/11 as an agricultural winter school – one of the first institutions of its kind in the region. A relief depicting a plow and quill on the facade still commemorates its former use. As part of the administrative reform, the building was converted into a town hall in 1972 and has served exclusively as the city administration ever since. The administrative complex is complemented by the neighboring registry office, a listed half-timbered building dating from 1819, which the city acquired in 1986 and restored in 1997. The historical development of the town hall and its outbuildings reflects Bergen's transformation from an agriculturally dominated community to a modern city administration.

The so-called "1,000-year-old oak on Kirchberg" is an imposing natural monument and cultural landmark of the city. It stands centrally behind St. Lamberti Church and is easily accessible. Despite its name, its actual age is estimated at around 350 years. It is a pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) with a breast height of 7.50 meters and a height of around 25 meters. Its crown diameter of 28 meters is particularly impressive. The trunk grows straight up for about six meters before the crown divides into two large main branches. The oak is in very good vitality, with only a small amount of deadwood, and is considered a symbol of the long history and the connection of the city of Bergen with its natural environment – it is even depicted in a stylized form on the city's coat of arms.

The Römstedthaus Local History Museum in Bergen is located in a historic smokehouse dating back approximately 350 years and is dedicated to the history of rural life and regional culture in the Celle district. It opened in 1913 and was named after the association's then chairman, Friedrich Römstedt, in 1929. The museum includes several buildings, including the main house, a tithe barn, a loft, and a small granary that served as refugee accommodation during World War II. The exhibition vividly conveys everyday life in past centuries and offers a lively insight into the region's rural history. A café is located near the museum, making it a great place to take a break.

The war memorial commemorates the fallen of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. This war marked the last major military conflict between the North German Confederation, then under Prussian leadership, and the French Empire. It ended with a victory for the German troops and led to the founding of the German Empire in 1871. The memorial is a listed monument and an important testament to local commemorative culture. The memorial in Bergen was officially inaugurated on June 22, 1878. It consists of a sandstone obelisk topped with an Iron Cross, with two white marble plaques embedded in its base. The inscription on one of the plaques reads: "In memory of the soldiers from the parish of Bergen who fell in the years 1870 and 1871." The memorial is a significant testament to local commemorative culture and is a listed monument. It is freely accessible and can be visited at any time.

The war memorial for the victims of the First World War was erected in 1922 and commemorates the fallen soldiers from the parish of Bergen. The memorial consists of a curved wall with two lateral columns and is accessed via two steps. Five bronze plaques bear the names of 241 fallen soldiers, arranged according to the localities of the region. The memorial is crowned by a figure of a fallen soldier, over whom a soldier wearing a steel helmet is leaning. On the front is the dedication "The Parish of Bergen 1914–1918 to its Heroes," and on the back the words "Love Never Ends." The memorial is an important testament to local commemorative culture and is a listed historical monument. It is freely accessible and can be visited at any time.
