A 14th-century court location, known as Gogericht auf dem Desum, is located in the southern park of Emstek. The Gogericht was first mentioned in a document on January 25, 1322, when the court was acquired for the Münster Episcopal Office of Vechta. At that time, the court was responsible for the parishes of Lutten, Langförden, Cappeln, Krapendorf-Kloppenburg, Friesoythe and Molbergen, Visbek, Emstek, Wildeshausen, Huntlosen, Großenkneten, Oythe, Goldenstedt and Twistringen.
Emstek is also known for its Baumweg nature reserve, Bürgerpark, and a public swimming lake, Halener Badesee.
