St. Johannis

The church stands near the village cemetery along Curslacker Deich, featuring a long nave with a three-sided choir and wooden tower adjacent to the structure.

Built between 1599 and 1602 after storm damage, the church incorporates remnants of an original fieldstone construction from 1306 in its south and west walls.

The interior displays a decorated pulpit from 1599 with a Moses figure, an altar from 1688, and an organ loft from 1621 with Old Testament scenes.

The church maintains regular services and community activities, including Thursday meetings for Low German dialect conversations and seasonal religious celebrations.

The church houses two organs, including a smaller instrument with pipes from 1622 that maintains historical mean-tone temperament tuning common in Northern Europe.
