A church existed in Heiligenstedten already since the 9th century as one of the oldest church foundations north of the Elbe. It was probably related to the castle Esesfeld, also built in the 9th century. The present church building dates from the end of the 13th century; It received its present appearance by renovations in 1580. In 1826, the church, which had previously been on a Wurt in the outer dike, diked. Even today the church is a few steps lower than the entrance.

Founded in 834 at the time of Ansgar the Great and thus one or perhaps the oldest existing church north of the Elbe.

It is a very beautiful little church with a single open bell tower.
