St. Sixtus und Sinicius

The church building features granite ashlar construction with robust walls, semi-circular arches, and rounded windows along its 33-meter length and 13-meter width.

Originally established as a wooden church by Saint Ansgar in the 9th century, the current stone structure was constructed around 1143 on a six-meter-high mound.

The church contains a 1620 altar table carved by Ludwig Münstermann, displaying religious scenes through intricate woodwork and painted details.

Religious services and community gatherings take place regularly in this Lutheran church, which stands as part of the Kirchenkreis Friesland-Wilhelmshaven district.

The church's baptismal font from 1260 represents the oldest element in the building, featuring relief depictions including the baptism of Christ.
