St. Salvator, Medieval church in Pellworm, Germany
The brick church combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements with white exterior walls and a central roof turret on the nave.
Built around 1200 on the western part of the island near the sea dike, St. Salvator replaced an earlier wooden church that deteriorated due to weather conditions.
The interior features a late Gothic winged altar from 1460, bronze baptismal font from 1475, and an Arp Schnitger organ constructed between 1710 and 1711.
The church maintains regular organ concerts during summer months, allowing visitors to experience performances on the historical Schnitger instrument.
The original 50-meter tower partially collapsed in 1611 due to soft ground, and its 26-meter ruins now serve as a nesting site for falcons.
