Kirche zum Heiligen Kreuz

The rectangular single-room church extends 22 meters in length and 7 meters in width, with walls constructed from granite and brick masonry.

The church was constructed in the 1270s during the Late Middle Ages, incorporating Romanesque architectural elements on the elevated western end of a former sea dike.

The church contains an organ built in 1664 by Hamburg master organ builder Joachim Richborn, originally featuring eight voices on a single manual.

The church serves as one of thirteen stations along the Wangerland pilgrimage route and maintains regular religious services for the local Lutheran congregation.

The freestanding bell tower houses four bells, while the walls display a combination of granite blocks and monastery-format bricks with ornamental elements in the gable area.
