The dykes on the Lühe are listed as historical monuments. The villages on both sides of the Lühe: Mittelnkirchen Ort, Mittelnkirchen Hohenfelde, Neuenkirchen east of the river and Bergfried and Guderhandviertel west of the river are typical, historic dyke-strip villages of the Altes Land – just like Leeswig, Königreich, Hove and Moorende on the Este –. They follow the curves of the river, as do the dyke and the road. The farmhouses face the dyke with their decorated gables, separated from each other by ditches, with the typical front gardens. The farm buildings, orchards, the historic strips of the agricultural land extend behind the houses in long strips.
