The beautiful 17th-century church was built on a mound after the great flood of 1634. Two previous buildings, whose locations are no longer known, had fallen victim to the storm surges of 1362 and 1634 and were swept away. During the second great flood, the entire pastor's family, along with 300-400 other Ockholm residents, drowned; only the eldest son, who was already a student and had left home, survived. Between 1639 and 1641, Ockholm was re-dyked with the active support of the Danish King Christian IV. A new church was built. The king provided the building materials: he donated the stones from the Bordelum "castle," the manor "Fruu Mettenhof" of Meta von Ahlefeld in Bordelum-Uphusum, which had been destroyed in the Thirty Years' War.
