According to legend, the devil wanted to prevent the building of the church in Getttorf and threw a large boulder at the tower. But God repelled the stone, so that it only grazed the tower, which is now crooked. The devil sculpture in the pedestrian zone and the inscription next to it are reminiscent of the story: “With a large boulder by Felmer Barg, de Düvel wanted us to rent Karktorm apart. God didn't hurt us. So hett de Findling because Karktorm bloots streaked and was bit Königsför flew. Karktorm Scheef stands out from de Tied. "

The St. Jürgen Church in Gettorf was a pilgrimage church in the Middle Ages.
At the site of today's church there was probably a place of worship even before the Christianization of the Danish welfare. Around 1250 a long nave, today's central nave, with a choir was built. Around 1300 today's choir with ribbed vault was added slightly offset. At that time the church was dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra and the Mother of God, Mary. Next to the church was a chapel dedicated to George, which attracted numerous pilgrims and brought the church a lot of income. The patronage later passed to the great church.
In the 15th century, a granary made of field stones was added to the west of the church to supply the pilgrims and probably also to accommodate the church tithing, which mostly consisted of natural products. The remains of this granary, on the foundation of which the 64 m high tower was built in 1491-94, can still be seen on the church wall. In 1520 the Marienkapelle was added to the south wall.

The St. Jürgen Church in Gettorf was a pilgrimage church in the Middle Ages. Today it belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany and is one of the most important landmarks of the Gettorf community.
At the site of today's church there was probably a place of worship before the Christianization of the Danish welfare. Around 1250 a long nave, today's central nave, with a choir was built. Around 1300 today's choir with ribbed vault was added slightly offset. At that time the church was dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra and the Mother of God, Mary. In the 15th century, a granary made of field stones was added to the west of the church to supply the pilgrims and probably also to accommodate the church tenth, which mostly consisted of natural products. The remains of this granary, on the foundation of which the 64 m high tower was built in 1491-94, can still be seen on the church wall.
In 1520 the Marienkapelle was added to the south wall.
In 1523 the Reformation found its way into Gettorf when the first Lutheran sermon was given in St. Jürgen's Church.
In 1814 the tower burned down and was rebuilt. During the Schleswig-Holstein uprising, it served as a vantage point from which the arrival of the Danish ships was observed before the battle at Eckernförde on April 5, 1849.
In the course of the 19th century, the church was given today's galleries. The windows have also been enlarged. In 1906 the late Gothic painting of the vaults was renewed and supplemented. In 1913 the tower burned again and was renovated. In 2012, the tower was renovated with the help of the church building association for the St. Jürgen Church in Gettorf e.V.
