Sightseeing features
Black lighthouse
The 22.5 m high lighthouse was built near the Bremen volcano in 1898 and served as a shipping mark in the lower Weser light line until the beginning of 1983. The platform is not accessible to the public.
Chapel Am Deich in Lemwerder
There is no evidence of an alleged Marian patronage. The frequently mentioned construction date of 1456 can only refer to later renovations or expansions. The hall building, built in early Gothic style, originally had a ribbed vault instead of today’s beamed ceiling. Inside there is a pulpit from 1586. Around 1800 the interior was redesigned in a classicist style. The gallery also dates from this time. On a hill around 1300 as a chapel on the dike, probably built for the local sailors (whalers) and their families. Probably the oldest surviving building in Lemwerder. Bell tower from 1652, pulpit from 1586 with inscriptions and symbolic representation of “virtues”.

Holy Cross Church in Bardewisch
Westphalian hall church, built in 1245 in Gothic style by the Cistercian order. It consists of three naves (main nave and two side naves). Particularly worth seeing are the five medieval frescoes, the altarpiece from 1764, the oak baptismal table from the 16th century and 16 paintings on the gallery (1725).
The Holy Cross Church in Bardewisch is station 16 on the Ochtum, Marsch and Moor pilgrimage route.

St. Gallus Church in Altenesch
Church dedicated to Saint St. Gallus, inaugurated in 1299. Today’s church probably stands on the mass grave of the 6,000 Stedingers who died in the Battle of Altenesch (1234). The pulpit was built by Ludwig Münstermann in 1615 and the wooden tower was added in 1720. The bell was cast in 1790 by the Bremen bell founder Brand.

St. Veit monument in Altenesch
The St. Veit monument, which was inaugurated on May 27, 1834, commemorates the Battle of Altenesch (1234). The main cause was the abolition of tax exemption by the Archbishop of Bremen, whose crusader army crushed the Stedingers.
Ochtum barrage
The Ochtum is freely connected to the Lower Weser and is subject to the influence of the tide. Construction work on the Ochtum barrage began in 1971. On June 2, 1976, the first pleasure boats passed through the new lock. Up to this point, a movable bridge was operated on the access road for shipping, which could then be removed.
The Ollen Bridge in Bardewisch
The Ollen Bridge, whose construction dates back to the Middle Ages and which has been preserved in this design to this day (renovated in 1986), connects the Lechter side (town side) with the Brook side in Bardewisch.
