Park/gardens Venue Tourist information Tourist attractions – various

The Villa Hecking functions as a meeting centre for the community of Neuenkirchen and a venue for the Villa Live concerts. In addition, the villa has played a significant role in shaping Neuenkirchen's history.

Even the weaver's shuttle in the municipal coat of arms indicates that the municipality was shaped by its textile industry for centuries. The Hecking company started operations in 1850 and was Neuenkirchen's largest employer at the time.

Today, the beautiful villa, or rather the beautiful linen merchant's house, with the surrounding park can be visited daily from the outside.
