St. Johannis, Lutheran church in Nieblum, Germany.
Description
St. Johannis is a brick church in Nieblum with thick walls and characteristic tile-roof architecture that defines the north German building style. The structure rises with its tall tower above the flat landscape of the island and houses a spacious interior with high ceilings.
History
The building was constructed in the 1240s and developed over centuries as a religious center for the region. A devastating flood event in the 14th century changed the geography of the area and isolated the church in its current location.

Practical
The site is located at a quiet spot on the island, giving visitors time to stay and explore. Since the church stands on an isolated area, it is helpful to plan arrival in advance and check access routes beforehand.
