The village founding of Bartolfelde (Bardenevelt) took place probably before 1200. But the village itself was named for the first time in 1260. Today's St. Bartholdi church was built 1508 - 1511, the church tower in 1709 - 1711. The church was altered in 1862 - 1863. The last renovation took place from 1989 - 1991. Inside the church is a tomb slab of the knight Hans-Georg of Minningerode, who died in 1594. The rectory adjacent to the church stems from the year 1841.
