Sights
Hahnenklee is chiefly known for the Protestant Gustav Adolf Stave Church, built by the architect Karl Mohrmann (1857-1927) in 1908. The clocktower was added in 1975.
Several historic wooden buildings, e.g. the former town hall, can be seen in the High Street.
The smaller Catholic Church Saint Mary in the Snow (Sankt Maria im Schnee) was built in 1975.
The grave of the composer Paul Lincke who died in Hahnenklee in 1946 is worth a visit as well.
