St. Mary's Church in Bad Segeberg's city centre was built from about 1160 as the church of Segeberg Abbey and is thus the oldest three-aisled vaulted basilica of the brick Romanesque style in North Elbia and the architectural model for the younger cathedrals in Lübeck and Ratzeburg. Today it is the church of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Segeberg.

The Alt-Segeberger Bürgerhaus was already known at the end of the 19th century as the oldest house in the city of Segeberg and is today one of the few preserved small-town houses in Schleswig-Holstein from the beginning of the early modern period. As a simple hall house, it was built in 1541 in half-timbered construction with brick infill and expanded and rebuilt several times in the following centuries. Since its complete renovation in 1963/64, it has included the "local history museum" of the city of Bad Segeberg. In the first decades, exhibits from the petty bourgeois living and working world of the 19th and 20th centuries were shown in its historic rooms. After the Bad Segeberg Adult Education Centre took over the sponsorship in 2012, successively newly designed permanent exhibitions on historical topics of the city were created.
