Alte Inselkirche Baltrum, Lutheran church in Baltrum, Germany.

The Alte Inselkirche stands as a brick structure accommodating 50 people, with a wooden bell tower containing a bell from a Dutch sailing vessel.

Built in 1826 after a devastating storm surge destroyed the previous church in 1825, this building represents the fifth church constructed on the shifting island.

The church maintains regular evening prayers on Mondays and Fridays during summer, preserving local religious traditions dating back generations.

The interior features an organ with 196 pipes installed in 2004, following restoration work by organ builder Martin ter Haseborg.

Among the church treasures, a chalice donated by Katharina of Sweden, wife of Count Edzard II of East Frisia, dates from between 1559 and 1599.
