Tips from the Community
Jerxheim is a quiet place near the Elm-Lappwald Nature Park. A short tip: Rent a bike or bring your own and explore the surrounding fields and cycle paths towards Elm – there you will have wide views, little traffic and can really switch off. If you want to experience a bit more, a detour to nearby Schöningen with the well-known Paläon Museum and the Schöningen Spears is worthwhile.

St. Mary's Church has a Romanesque tower. This thick tower, supported by buttresses, has a slender, pyramid-shaped slate roof. The nave has Gothic forms. On the altar wall you can see the crucifixion at the top, and below it, where a depiction of the Last Supper would normally be, there is a burial. With great artistic understanding, a statue of the Mother Mary was restored around 1950 and has now found its place on the north wall of the church. Originally, this Mary, after whom the church is named, stood in the altar shrine of the old church. After the fire of 1673, it was placed in the large staircase vestibule. The parish has special art treasures including an altar chalice from 1593, a baptismal font from 1490 with the coats of arms of the von Wrampe and von Kneitlingen families, and four colored, leaded windows (around 1900).

I was caught stamping by a nice gentleman who immediately offered me a spontaneous tour of the museum (on a Friday). Unfortunately, I was a bit pressed for time and couldn't accept the invitation.
