Evangelisch-lutherische Kirche Wüppels

The rectangular nave church features a semicircular apse facing east, with walls made of double-shell brick construction resting on boulder foundations.

The church dates back to the late 13th century and received its first documented mention in 1350 when the village was known as Wyppense.

The oak pulpit from 1634, donated by the Schwarzenberg family, displays the four evangelists with their characteristic symbols on its panels.

The church serves as one of two worship locations for the Wangerland parish of St. Joost/Wüppels and functions as a station on the Wangerland pilgrimage route.

The church contains four stone slabs from the 13th century that likely represented sarcophagi, marked only with simple symbols rather than inscriptions.
