St. Martin

St. Martin is a Lutheran church in Tettens constructed of granite blocks in late Romanesque style during the medieval period. The building stands elevated on a rise and displays the architectural characteristics typical of that era.

The Archbishop of Bremen authorized religious services in the early 13th century, marking the start of documented religious activity on the site. Over time the building developed and became central to the local community.

The interior holds a late Gothic winged altar from 1480 showing crucifixion scenes and biblical images that visitors can see today. These artworks reflect what mattered most to worshippers in that era.

The building sits in Wangerland municipality and welcomes regular visitors. A clock on the south side marks the hours with bell strikes and helps visitors get their bearings.

The ceiling received baroque-style paintings in 1717 showing religious motifs and texts. These decorations blend a later artistic style with the medieval architecture of the building.
