The St. Matthew's Church in Resterhafe (Schwittersum) is the older of the two "Glory Churches". It was probably built in the middle of the 13th century on a five-meter-high warp. The foundation was made of heavy granite stones. The one-room church in the monastery format is made of bricks. The aisle flanked by two rows of simple wooden benches leads to the choir room, which - a rarity in East Frisia - still has a wood-worked barrier, the so-called Lettner, which separates it from the nave.
The separate bell tower is a bit younger than the church. It has been home to two bells for centuries.
In 1972, during an excavation in the interior, at a depth of only 1.5 meters, they encountered the floor of an even older, probably wooden, church.

The oldest church of the glory Dornum has been on this warf since the 13th century. A lot of interesting information here: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St.-Matth%C3%A4us-Kirche_%28Resterhafe%29?wprov= sfla1
