The oldest documentary evidence of St. John's Church dates back to 1302. The immediate predecessor of today's building was a brick church with a granite foundation. The current church building was built between 1903 and 1905 according to the design of the architect Wilhelm Matthies from Bardowick. The fieldstone masonry of the previous church was partially integrated into the new building. Conversion measures followed in 1967, during which, among other things, a new hall was installed in the north gallery. Source: Wikipedia

Today's museum has been located in the former stone chapel of St. Laurentius since 1928, the oldest building in Dahlenburg at over 750 years. The chapel is the remainder of the old "Dahlen Castle" that is believed to be in the vicinity of this elevated location. The walls, which are more than 1.5 meters thick, bear witness to a fortified past when this sacred building, which has been expanded several times, was used as a summer residence by the Dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

The St. Johannis Church in Dahlenburg was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style between 1903 and 1905 and replaced a previous church from the Middle Ages. From the time of the previous building, however, an important late Gothic carved altar and a late Gothic gallery cabinet have been preserved. Equally important is the ornately designed Renaissance pulpit. The small church is located in the town center and has a lasting impact on the joint community of Dahlenburg. https://www.eurob.org/item/st-johannis_st-laurentius_dahlenburg/
