The building is a rectangular brick structure, closed on the east side by five sides of a dodecagon. The wall is made of bricks in monastery format, and the corners are made of hewn sandstone.

The moment you cross the dike, you have a wide view over the salt marshes and the Wadden Sea all the way to Wilhelmshafen.

The Seefeld church, decorated in the North German Baroque style, was built in 1675 on the former foot of the dike.

A hall church dating from 1675. Its square, recessed west tower features an octagonal spire. Inside, a baptismal font with putti. Visits are only possible by appointment.

The salt marsh adventure trail in Sehestedt leads from the dike entrance at the "Floating Moor" through the salt marshes to the Wadden Sea of the Jade Bay via Sehestedt back. On the 5km long circular trail, which can be walked in about 1.5 to 2 hours, over 30 information boards provide detailed information about the natural history of the Jade Bay. The range of topics ranges from the formation of the Jade Bay to the importance of the salt marshes as a breeding and resting area for birds to the special adaptations of plants and animals to this habitat characterized by extremes. Of course, there is also detailed information about the Wadden Sea and its inhabitants. Interesting facts are also reported about the cultural and historical aspects of land reclamation and dike construction.

In 1938, the "Floating Moor" was finally placed under nature conservation for geological, botanical, zoological and local history reasons, after some parts of the area had already been protected in previous years. This area has been part of the "Lower Saxony Wadden Sea" National Park since 1986 and has therefore been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010. In 2007, an international youth group and the "Meyershof" youth workshops in the Wesermarsch district laid out a boardwalk that leads to an observation and information hut.

When can you see the moor floating? Floating up is a rare occurrence. The prerequisite is a heavy storm or hurricane flood from the northwest, where the water rises more than 1.70 m above mean high tide (MTHw) and there is heavy seas. In Sehestedt the MTHw is + 1.79 above sea level. Adding 1.70 m gives 3.49 m. The water is then at least 1.15 m high on the salt marsh in front. The moor rises when the salt water has almost reached the moor surface. The buoyancy is so strong that everything that is on the moor is lifted with it, in the past also the houses and wells. When floating up, the break-off point between the high and low moor is about 3.10 m below the surface of the moor and thus more than 1 m deeper than the salt marshes in front of it. If the moors break off and are washed away, deep moor holes remain that fill with water.

It is important for amateur photographers to pay attention to the tides. They make the same thing look completely different on the coast and of course the time of day.
