Culture and History
The Artlenburg Privilege is a document issued by Henry the Lion in 1161. It granted merchants from Lübeck and Gotland equal rights in each other’s territories. An old castle moat still partially surrounds Artlenburg’s elevated settlement hill.
The Artlenburg windmill is an octagonal Dutch-style windmill on a square base made of unfinished brick. The first mill at this site began operating in 1833. A visit to the Artlenburg windmill can be arranged by appointment.
St. Nicolai Church is a cycling church on the Elbe Cycle Route that is open during the day all year round. After the fire of 1821, it was rebuilt as a late-Classical church with transept-like cross wings. A pulpit altar is located in the center of its southern longitudinal wall.
