St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church (Gifhorn International Windmill Museum)

Highlight • Religious Site

The 27 meter high wooden church with eight gilded domes is a replica of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration of Christ from 1765 in the village of Koslyatjevo. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and was consecrated on November 24, 1995 by the Moscow Patriarch Aleksiy II. An exhibition of liturgical objects from the Patriarchate's factory can be seen in the church. It includes icons, oil lamps, candlesticks, robes, embroidery, baptismal vessels, Bibles and golden pictures, some of which are painted there. A visit to the interior of the building, which is decorated with icon paintings, costs an additional entrance fee. The bells of Minden Cathedral, cast in 1948, are hung in front of the church.

Schlosssee Gifhorn

Highlight • Lake

From 1539 to 1549, Gifhorn was the residence of Duke Franz of Brunswick and Lüneburg. Duke Franz ruled from a magnificent moated castle, which today houses the Historical Museum, among other things. The museum in the Gifhorn Welfenschloss is the ideal starting point for a long walk along the extensive castle meadows and along the castle lake.
A wooden bridge leads over the castle moat to the castle lake. A little further north is the Mühlensee. Both lakes are fed by the heath river Ise. From the footpath you can admire the impressive buildings of the International Mill Open Air Museum. The museum displays 14 mills from countries all over the world. The golden domes of the Russian Orthodox wooden church can be seen from afar. The Gifhorn castle meadows are a popular place for events. Every year at the beginning of September, thousands of yellow ducks swim against each other for a good cause at the Gifhorn Duck Race. Musical performances find an extraordinary setting here.

For Gifhorn residents and their guests, the castle meadows are a social meeting place. Whether joggers, walkers, water sports enthusiasts on the lakes or on the Ise - people meet here
