The facility, built between 1953 and 1956, dams the Weser river (head of approx. 5.20 meters). An integrated run-of-river power plant uses the water power with three turbines for sustainable electricity generation.

In the shade of the city church, you can enjoy a good drop. A nice atmosphere.

The Giebichenstein in Stöckse is considered the largest erratic boulder in Lower Saxony and is definitely worth a break. Those eager to climb can also manage to ascend it. Not far from it, there is a playground on the outskirts of Stöckse, and you can also reach the Stöckser See via footpaths.

The former manor house served as a royal post station on the Hanover-London route until 1860. It housed, among other things, the Elector's and later the Royal Hanoverian Post Office, including a postmaster's office, post station, and horse-changing station. Since its restoration in 1977, it has housed the city library. The carillon mounted on the side plays the song "The Little Nienburg Girl" several times a day.

This is the former cloakroom of the Counts of Hoya. They used it to leave their cloaks when attending services at the neighboring St. Martin's Church. The Nienburg Wine House offers a selection of wines, sparkling wines, and spirits for purchase, and customers can also sample the wines in its cozy wine bar.
