St. Severin, Keitum, Lutheran church in Keitum, Germany.

The church building features a square tower made of brick, with pointed windows and cross-arched friezes decorating its exterior walls.

Built in 1216, St. Severin church stands on a former sanctuary dedicated to Odin and received funding from Danish King Canute for its construction.

The interior contains a baptismal font from 1230, a Late Gothic altarpiece from 1480, and a Renaissance pulpit dating back to 1580.

The church houses the largest organ in Nordfriesland with 46 registers, installed by Mühleisen of Leonberg in 1999.

The tower served as both a navigation mark for seafarers and a prison, with its tower room remaining sealed from 1740 until 1981.
