Old Meyer Distillery Hille

Highlight • Historical Site

The old Meyer distillery in Hille is a unique industrial monument. The striking building (from 1890) with the high chimney (on which storks have regularly nested for years) has long since become Hille's landmark. Founded in 1721 by Christian Meyer as an agricultural grain distillery, it expanded into an industrial company at the end of the 19th century. Korn and other spirits were produced here for almost 270 years until 1990, the best known being "Hiller Bastkorn" and "Hiller Moorbrand". After the decommissioning, the building, including the production facilities, was placed under monument protection and came under the care of the fruit and horticultural association, today the Hille homeland and horticultural association.

Maybe this place actually offers more opportunities to observe storks. Unfortunately I didn't see any here.

Hiller Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Hiller Church was completed in 1523. Around 200 years later, in 1752, it had to be extended by 12 meters in order to be able to hold the large community. The tower was only built in 1801. Various conversions in the later years have changed the interior considerably. In 1954, the side galleries were removed during the last major renovation. The altar is now in the west and not - as is usual in churches - in the east. A special feature is the valuable ceiling paintings from 1523, which were uncovered during the renovation.
