    The St. Willehad Church in its current appearance is a rectangular hall building with a neo-Gothic west tower and an anteroom in the south.
    The church was built around 1150 as a Romanesque building at the highest point of the original harbor town of Leck. The basic structure of this original building forms two thirds of the current nave. When the church was expanded in 1807, the retracted choir and the semicircular apse were lost.
    The old tower from the 16th century burned down in a fire in a nearby bacon roasting factory in 1872. The neo-Gothic new building was completed in 1875.


    The church houses a carved altar from Claus Berg's workshop from 1520.
    During the Passion season between Ash Wednesday and Easter, the altar is closed and you can see a large picture - “Easter Dance” - by the Dresden artist Werner Juza from the 90s of the 20th century. The Last Supper picture on the altar and a cycle of pictures for the Sermon on the Mount on the church gallery also come from Wernder Juza. This cycle of pictures complemented the older emblem paintings in the gallery.
    The side entrance on the north side of St. Willehad Church is usually open during the day between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

      The date of construction is currently around 1150. From this founding period there are still some components in the building, such as the north portal.
      The church tower was only built in the 19th century.
