Friesenkapelle Wenningstedt, Heritage chapel in Wenningstedt-Braderup, Germany.
The Friesenkapelle is a Lutheran chapel in the village of Wenningstedt-Braderup on the island of Sylt, situated near the local pond. Its interior features a half-moon ceiling adorned with handmade Delft tiles and biblical paintings executed in a simple farmer's style.
The foundation stone was laid in 1914, making it one of the newer religious buildings on Sylt island. Its bells were added in different periods to enhance the spiritual presence of the location.
The side walls display the Lord's Prayer in Frisian language, showing how the building connects to North Frisian heritage and local identity.
The chapel is easily accessible with parking available on Bi Kiar street nearby. Services take place on Sunday mornings, which is the best time for a visit if you wish to experience the community gathering.
The bell tower holds three bells, with the first installed in 1932 and two more added later. This gradual expansion shows how the community grew and strengthened over the decades.
