The "Oberfeuer Preußeneck" lighthouse has been protected as a monument for over 10 years and was lovingly restored after a foundation was established. The middle platform was added later for an even better view. If you prefer to stay on the ground, you will find the documentation center in the former transformer house with information on the history of the tower, the history of the sea marks and the Jade Bay. Even those who are afraid of heights can enjoy the view via a live camera on the roof of the tower.
The documentation center and the tower can be visited with a volunteer "lighthouse keeper".

The church was probably consecrated in 1450, in an era when Gothic architecture was still in use. It is a single-room church, is 28.8 meters long, 8 meters wide and was built as a fortified church on a church mound.

The baptismal font was restored in 1616 by Ludwig Münstermann. It was found in the mudflats in 1550 and was stored in an attic for 100 years. The altar is also a work by Münstermann, although probably not by him himself, but by his students.

Originally there was also a pulpit that came from Münstermann's workshop, but this has not survived the ravages of time. The current pulpit dates from 1867.

The organ was designed by the Schmidt company and later expanded by the Führer company. It has an excellent sound, and well-known musicians in Europe have given notable concerts on it.

The old bell tower, which is older than the church, can be seen on the street. It is said that it used to be a sign for sailors. Two bells hang in this tower and call villagers and guests to church on Sundays.
