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

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.

Half-timbered houses as far as the eye can see. This picturesque half-timbered town was first mentioned in a document in 1025. Today, the town has a population of around 33,000 and was an important fortress town on the Weser River crossing in the Middle Ages. Lovingly restored half-timbered buildings, castle farms such as the Posthof (library) or the Fresenhof (museum), and farmer's houses and patrician houses bear witness to Nienburg's history. The best way to explore Nienburg's old town is with a walk along the "Nienburg Bear Trail."

A pedestrian bridge opened in 2000, connecting Nienburg's city center with the western bank of the Weser River. It was built on the site of the first Nienburg Weser Bridge. This historic pedestrian bridge connects the city center with the district on the western bank. In the 18th century, the first stone Weser bridge was built on this site as a gift from King George of England. Until the end of the 19th century, this Weser crossing was the only one in the area. When a larger bridge was built a few hundred meters downstream, the first pedestrian bridge was built here, but it was destroyed in World War II. The bridgeless condition at this point lasted for almost 60 years. Source: https://www.nienburg.de/info/poi/wesertor-bruecke-1000814-21501.html

A cozy little spot for a short rest, on the church square, on historic ground, with a view of the Lutheran St. Martin's Church. The Nienburg Wine House opened in September 1998 in the former cloakroom of the Count of Hoya. The exact year the house was built is unknown. However, since the last count died in 1582, it must have been built some years earlier. They used this building to leave their cloaks when attending services at the neighboring St. Martin's Church. Today, the aforementioned wine shop occupies the historic building. Wines and spirits are offered, and tastings are available.

The romantic little brick church in Binnen—or rather, its immediate surroundings—is home to a special ecological treasure: In its garden are four of what are probably the oldest trees in the Nienburg district: a linden tree, estimated at a proud 450 years old, and three yew trees, the oldest of which is said to be an incredible 600 to 800 years old. This ancient tree may have already been standing when workers began construction of the church around 1350. The small, Gothic-style church is also special in another respect: its clock is still powered by a purely mechanical mechanism located on the church tower floor. https://www.nienburg-online.de/branchenbuch/eintrag/kirche-binnen/21570/1000789/
