Suurhusen Church

The church structure spans 32 meters in length and 9 meters in width, featuring a brick construction with Gothic architectural elements throughout the building.

The foundations, built on oak tree trunks in the 14th century, began to deteriorate when land drainage in the 19th century affected the groundwater levels.

The Evangelical Reformed Church maintains regular services in this building, preserving centuries of religious traditions in the East Frisian community.

Visitors can access the church after its 1985 reopening, following extensive stabilization work that addressed structural safety concerns from the 1970s.

The tower leans at 5.19 degrees, surpassing the tilt of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and earning recognition from Guinness World Records in 2007.
