The Protestant St. Nicolai Church is a Neoclassical hall church built between 1802 and 1806. The west tower dates from 1818. Notable features include the altar wall with four Corinthian columns, the paintings on wooden panels dating from 1580, and the Gothic chalice from the early 14th century. While simple white dominates the church walls, the altar, gallery, and organ are adorned with gilded details. The altarpiece, "The Resurrection of Christ," is a testament to the North German Renaissance. (Source: https://www.stadt-diepholz.de/info/poi/st-nicolai-kirche-3000027-21770.html)

A new building was constructed in 1904/05 to replace an older town hall, likely built in 1789. The three-story, brick-clad, historicist corner building, with its hipped and gable roofs, side gable projection, segmental and round-arched openings, profiled wooden windows, eaves frieze, stringcourses, bay windows, balconies, and slender corner tower with a tall spire and large gate for horse-drawn carriages, served as the town hall until 1985. Until 1927, it was used as a post office with an attached town hall, along with the local police station and two jail cells. Today, it hosts art exhibitions and events (Old Council Chamber). The county's Europe Direct Information Center was also located on the upper floor until 2011. [2][3] ] The State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments determined: “…historical significance within the context of Diepholz’s local history…” The new town hall of Diepholz, built in 1985, is located at Rathausmarkt 1.

Description: The "Goose Fountain" at the Kreissparkasse (district savings bank) was crafted from bronze in 1985 by the artist Karl-Heinz Friedrich from Lembruch. Diepholz geese have been bred in the Diepholz area since around 1880. Characteristic traits of the Diepholz goose include high resilience, excellent walking ability, and very good appetite. These desirable qualities continue to make them very popular among purebred poultry breeders today.

Did a residential tower or the house that the mint master Lambert Vleminck bought in 1514 or 1515 once stand on this site? We only know that Vleminck wanted to spend his final years here when his violations of the coinage regulations became so serious that the Bishop of Münster separated from him. During his time in Osnabrück and Münster, Vleminck also minted coins in Diepholz for the noblemen of Diepholz, and from 1515 onward. As was common knowledge at the time, he also engaged in counterfeiting on the express instructions of the noblemen. This, however, did not save him from ultimately suffering death in boiling water on the market square in Osnabrück.
