St. Martin Morsum

The granite-block church features a receding choir, semi-circular apse, and retains original northern windows from the Romanesque architectural period.

Built in the last third of the 12th century, St. Martin Morsum incorporates tuff stone and brick construction methods typical of North Frisian island churches.

The church contains a late Gothic wing altar depicting the Pieta, along with a 13th-century baptismal font made from Gotland calcite.

Located on a gentle hillock in the marshland outside Morsum village, the church maintains regular Protestant services and includes a separate bell tower.

The bell tower contains a manually operated bell from 1767 inscribed with 'Glori gloria in exelsis Deo' that continues to ring by hand.
