Bockelmann's Sheep Barn

Highlight • Monument

Shortly after the heather areas were linked in 1870/1871, which have been owned by Hof Bockelmann since then, this sheepfold was built. The sheepfold is now a monument and was renovated in 1999.

This is the moor church in the Twißelmoor between Haverbeck and Behringen.

But they still exist - the places that are just as beautiful but not as well known; there you can actually immerse yourself in a …
