Via Pfarrstraße, you reach St. Laurentius Church, which was probably built on a former pagan place of worship. First documented in 1257, this building is the oldest in the city. The church served as a place of refuge in times of war and fire. Originally built as a Romanesque fieldstone building (split boulders can be found on the tower and south wall), new windows were added in the late Gothic period (14th century). An extension to the east and the addition of two chapels to the north and south also date back to the Gothic period. The existing flat ceiling was replaced by a ribbed vault. The Mandelsloh and Clüver Chapels contain old gravestones as well as two marble sarcophagi belonging to an old Achim noble family. The clock in the church tower, first mentioned in writing in 1574, is now electronically controlled. Opening hours: April to October: Mon-Sun 8am-5pm, Nov to March: Mon-Sun 8am-4pm https://www.achim.de/portal/seiten/sehenswertes-902000868-20601.html

Mausoleum: Built in 1873 according to plans by the architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase (planner of the Marienburg, Nordstemmen and the Domgymnasium Verden) in the neo-Gothic style. The building was only a mausoleum (burial site) for the v.d. Wisch and v. Heimbruch families for a few decades: later it served as a garage or lion cage, restored 1986 - 1989, today an exhibition room. Schlossparkverein Etelsen e.V.
