The Witzwort Church of St. Mary was built around 1420 in a Romanesque-Gothic style.

The chancel was rebuilt around 1900, the wooden bell tower dates back to 1631 and stands on the eastern edge of the Kirchwarft. The numerous pictures of the former pastors from the period 1728 to 1928 are interesting and worth noting.

The most valuable treasure of the church is a three-part altar, which is attributed to the Brüggemann school with its wealth, which is unique for Eiderstedt.

Since 2004, the village church has been lit from three sides at night in winter...

St. Mary's Church in Witzwort is one of eighteen historic churches on Eiderstedt.
The small village church has artistically and theologically important furnishings.
Today's Witzwort church is probably not the first church to be built in Witzwort. According to Anton Heimreich, the first church is said to have stood "on the Fuhrwege".

Today's single-nave Gothic brick building was built around 1420 on a high mound. The side walls of the flat-roofed nave date from the time of construction. A conversion took place in the middle of the 19th century: the roof and ridge turret were renewed, the windows were enlarged and today's south portal was created, and the post-medieval west wall was secured with massive pillars. In 1898 the dilapidated medieval choir was replaced by a neo-Gothic new building, in which stucco consoles and keystones from the previous building were used.
The isolated stack of bells dates from 1631.
