The old village of Deezbüll, with the church at its centre, is the older place compared to the neighbouring Niebüll and was still on the sea at the time. Deezbüll still had a small harbour until the beginning of 1700. In 1682 and 1706 the two Christian-Albrechts-Köge were embanked.
On the west side of the church, a heavy wrought iron gate from the A. Schmidt blacksmith's shop in Trappenkamp closes off the enlarged cemetery entrance. A stone bridge previously stood on this spot.
The church is originally a Gothic building - initially without a tower - from the end of the 13th century, still recognizable by the pointed arched bricked-up north portal and the small windows on the north side. The south windows and the chancel were enlarged in the 18th century. The old granite stone foundations are still visible on the north side.
The coffin with the deceased was led to the burial through the vestibule on the south side - first mentioned in 1649 - also called the mortuary and ossuary. There is a sundial on the gable of the vestibule.
A new tower was built in 1964 based on the old one, which now has three bells from the Karlsruhe bell foundry, a God the Father bell, a Christ bell and a Holy Spirit bell.
The main piece in the church is the winged altar (15th century) with a coronation of the Virgin Mary in the center.
Because of the various depictions of the apostles in the church, the church was given the name Apostelkirche Deezbüll in 1993.
The tombstones of famous people are on the north side of the old cemetery.kirche-niebuell.de/kirchen/apostelkirche.html
