The St. Theresia Church on Nordstrand was built in 1662.

20 years after the devastating Burchardi flood of 1634, Dutch, Catholic dike builders came to Nordstrand to re-dam the island.

The area was Evangelical Lutheran, but the dike builders were granted religious freedom for their faith and built the St. Theresia Church.

As the church became increasingly dilapidated in the 19th century, the islanders built a new building on its foundations, which was completed in 1887.

The St. Theresia Church contains a cathedral treasure and cathedral relics.

The cross outside above the vestibule to the church has been there since 1662.

In the church, the apse with the starry sky always captivates people. Gravestones with interesting inscriptions, the oldest from 1663, commemorate parishioners from that time.

Many small details such as a pelican or a mysterious chest

await the visitor who enters the island cathedral with open eyes.

Very interesting and beautiful church that can tell of a forgotten church dispute ...

In 1887, St. Theresia was given its current appearance during a complete restoration. At this point in time the church received only one bell. Before that, the Catholics were allowed to use the bell of the Protestant St. Vincent Church in Odenbüll. The widely scattered old Catholic community now has around 500 members (Wikipedia).
