Discover Adendorf: Culture, Sport and Leisure

Adendorf lies four kilometres northeast of Lüneburg city centre. The town combines culture with opportunities for swimming, golf and ice sports; cycling and hiking are also part of the picture.

Culture and events in Adendorf

The Johannes Chapel dates back to 1258 and is Adendorf’s oldest building. It continues to serve as both a church and a cultural centre. It is also one of the venues for the Adendorf Serenade: the chamber music series comprises up to eight concerts a year, which also take place at Emmaus Church or in the library. The number of concerts and the venues may change; check which dates fall during your stay before you travel.

Adendorf Library also hosts readings, book presentations and picture-book cinema. As the programme may change, it is worth checking the event dates if you want to plan your visit around them. The chapel, serenade and library offer different ways to enjoy a culturally focused stay.
