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 church originates from a Romanesque fieldstone building dating back to the Middle Ages, remnants of this structure are still visible. Its current exterior appearance was significantly shaped in the 19th century, with notable work carried out in 1862 and a major redesign in 1889, during which fieldstone with brick details (e.g., the portal/gable) defines the building's form. Its location in the Treene Valley and its rich interior furnishings (including a significant carved altarpiece) make the ensemble particularly worth seeing.

Interesting location on the tour 👍

Be careful, the paths are soft and wet even during prolonged dry periods!

Beautiful old town, dotted with some "junk" shops, restaurants, and ice cream parlors.

Very delicious cakes
