The Ros Beiaard statue in Nienburg/Weser is a striking work of art in the public space and a special symbol of the city's connection to history, myth, and European culture. The sculpture depicts the legendary Ross Beiaard, a figure from the medieval heroic sagas of the Four Sons of Aymon, best known through the famous "Ros Beiaard" festival in the Belgian city of Dendermonde. Ros Beiaard, also called Ross Bayard, is a legendary horse from the medieval cycle of sagas about the Four Sons of Aymon and is one of the most famous mythical figures in European heroic literature. The legend originates in the Old French epic, in which Ros Beiaard is described as an exceptionally strong, intelligent, and almost magical horse. It carries the four brothers—Reinout and his companions—on its back at once and helps them escape from Emperor Charlemagne. Thus, Ros Beiaard represents not only physical strength but also loyalty, courage, and resistance against overwhelming odds. As the legend unfolds, the horse becomes a tragic figure. Charlemagne recognizes the animal's extraordinary power and ultimately demands its death as a condition for reconciliation with the brothers. Ros Beiaard is bound and thrown into a river, but depending on the version of the tale, it either survives or escapes its fate. These differing endings have contributed to the horse's enduring symbolism of resilience and freedom.

A little info from the internet: From the outside, the church, built in 1696, is a simple half-timbered church. Inside, it features a magnificent Baroque pulpit altar and an imposing depiction of the Last Judgment in the sanctuary. There's also a Baroque-style baptismal font dating from 1714.
