Culture and History

St. Petri is a 13th-century brick church in the Late Romanesque transitional style. Its features include a churchyard and interior furnishings such as a triumphal cross group, baptismal font, pulpit and Baroque altar. The building and its furnishings offer different points of interest: brick defines the exterior, while inside there are several specific details to discover. If you’d like to visit the interior, check visiting arrangements in advance.

In the Rieseby locality of Norby, Anna Mill houses a folklore museum with more than 2,000 exhibits. The museum also includes the Old Sawmill, a reconstructed horse-powered mill shed and a studio in the mill building. The collection and the named areas offer more than one possible focus for a visit: you may be interested in the size of the exhibition as well as the buildings and the studio.
