St. Catherine's Church in Stapel is an old fieldstone church, the oldest part of which, the chancel, dates back to the 12th century. The nave, apse, and the striking round west tower followed in the early 13th century. Inside, it impresses with its late Renaissance furnishings: These include a carved altar (1609), a pulpit (1615), and a baptismal font made of blue Belgian marble from the 15th century.

The white, round west tower of St. Catherine's Church in Stapel is a striking feature. This massive tower dates from the early 13th century and is one of the very rare round towers in the Schleswig region. With walls up to 2.5 meters thick in its lower section, it served not only as a church tower but also as a defensive structure and refuge for the inhabitants of the marshland at that time.

The main church in the Stapelholm region dates back to the 12th/13th century. Situated on a ridge of heathland directly on the Eider, it originally served as a fortified church against the Dithmarschers on the other side of the Eider. The Dithmarschers burned the church down in the 15th century, and the Stapelholms rebuilt it afterwards. A cemetery surrounded the church until 1885, and some gravestones were left on the church grounds. Extensive restoration work began in 1954, when the ceiling, choir arch and pulpit were painted and the original design of the altar was uncovered. In 1999/2000, new windows were installed in the church, among other things.
