The Christ Church in Niebüll is a Protestant church that was built in 1729.
It is located at Kirchenstraße 6, 25899 Niebüll.
The church has an eventful history and has been renovated several times.
The previous church was built in the Gothic style and stood in what is now the Langstoft district until the devastating
storm flood of 1362. The storm flood damage was so severe that the church was demolished and rebuilt in the Gothic style in the dune area of the new Niebüll settlement. Niebüll was first mentioned as a church location in 1436.
The south bridge from 1778 (next to the former sexton's house) - restored in 1925 - has two gates of different sizes, each with three symbols arranged in a cross:
rings, scales and sword as well as cross, heart and anchor. Unfortunately, only sparse reports have survived about the furnishings of the previous churches. Because of its good acoustics, the Christ Church also hosts concerts by national cultural institutions, such as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival and the Danish
