Under the stone-built Tostedt church, the foundations of two small wooden predecessor buildings were found during excavations. Such wooden churches were the oldest churches in northern Germany, dating from the early period of Christianisation. The Tostedt church ground plans are important archaeological finds far beyond northern Germany, as the detection of such wooden buildings is extremely difficult.
