St. Willehad Church Leck
Highlight • Religious Site
The church was built around 1150 as a Romanesque building at the highest point of the original harbor town of Leck. The basic structure of this original building forms two thirds of the current nave. When the church was expanded in 1807, the retracted choir and the semicircular apse were lost.
The old tower from the 16th century burned down in a fire in a nearby bacon roasting factory in 1872. The neo-Gothic new building was completed in 1875.
The church houses a carved altar from Claus Berg's workshop from 1520.
During the Passion season between Ash Wednesday and Easter, the altar is closed and you can see a large picture - “Easter Dance” - by the Dresden artist Werner Juza from the 90s of the 20th century. The Last Supper picture on the altar and a cycle of pictures for the Sermon on the Mount on the church gallery also come from Wernder Juza. This cycle of pictures complemented the older emblem paintings in the gallery.
The side entrance on the north side of St. Willehad Church is usually open during the day between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Restaurant Calli, Leck
Highlight • Restaurant
Nothing of that can be seen in Leck today. All that remains from this period through diking and fertile land reclamation is a small river called Lecker Au.
The fact that today's small river played an important role as a transport and trade route, and that there was a harbor in Leck in the 15th century, is only a reminder today of the anchor in the coat of arms of the municipality of Leck.
The Ox Road as a traffic and trade route, which led from the north of Denmark via Leck southwards to Wedel, made Leck an interesting and important place for many traders and business people.
In 1652, Caspar Dankwerth recorded with his pen that Leck was said to have been a town called "Lecca". He also wrote down that there was a palace / castle called "Leckhuus".
Today only a street name and a memorial stone remind us of the castle "Leckhuus" mentioned by Dankwerth from the 11th century.
The castle served as a hostel and fortification to monitor the two trade routes on land and water.
In 1689, the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Christian Albrecht, gave the town of Leck market rights, which meant that more and more handicraft and trading companies settled there.
A hospital and a pharmacy, a post office and also a school were built.
Ultimately, the development of the steam engine also brought a machine factory to Leck.
A spinning mill and cloth factory were added to the many businesses in Leck.

Calli Schaschlik Snack Bar
Highlight • Restaurant
There are people in the town of Leck in North Friesland who plan their annual vacation during Calli Schaschlik's company holidays. They don't want to miss out on the culinary offerings of their cult snack bar for a single day. Because everything they get at Calli, often after a long line, is made by hand. "I can't believe how patiently some customers wait until it's finally their turn," marvels the trained chef and junior manager Christian Paulsen.
For more than 50 years, in the third generation, the Paulsens have been sizzling for their customers right on the main street in Leck. It all started with Grandpa Calli. He fried the first Lecker Schaschlik. Grandpa Calli is no more, but his name is honored, which is important to the Paulsens. The family is part of their recipe for success. Because whether you're a local Lecker or a vacationer, at Calli Schaschlik everyone feels like they're at their mother's stove.
