Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
At the starting point of your tour is the moated castle of Heerse. Like the associated gatehouse, it is now a carefully restored, well-kept private property and houses an extensive collection that is open to the public. Originally, the moated castle, which dates back to 1599, was the seat of the abbess of Heerse Abbey, a high noble imperial convent founded in 868. After the abbey was dissolved in 1810, the land and buildings came into private hands. An exciting exhibition of natural history, ethnology and local history awaits visitors on a total area of 1,800 m².
The mighty church of the former Neuenheerse Abbey, popularly known as "Eggedom", towers above the other buildings and tall trees of the village of the same name and forms the starting point of this access trail. The collegiate church in Neuenheerse was built as a three-aisled columned basilica in 1100 - 1130 and later converted into a Gothic hall church. It has one of the oldest and most valuable relic treasures as well as the oldest bishop's seal imprint in Germany. The crypt with confessio dates back to 1107, the historic organ to 1713. Part of the former abbey building is now used as the Neuenheerse guest house.
