Without a sign, you wouldn't notice that you're walking into another country... It's nice how easy this can be these days.

This hall church was built in the early 13th century. It consists of a plastered nave and a neo-Romanesque brick church tower to the west, topped with a pointed spire, added in 1911. The nave was extended eastward in 1767/68 after the choir was demolished. The church's furnishings include a winged altarpiece built in the early 16th century. The altar has a late Gothic altarpiece with a richly figurative relief of a crucifixion scene (source: Wikipedia).

The Nolde Museum shows a cross-section of the complete works of the painter Emil Nolde (1867-1956) every year: paintings, watercolors, drawings, graphics, “unpainted pictures” – a total of around 180 works. Emil Nolde had the six-meter-long and seven-meter-wide picture room built as an upper floor on top of his studio in 1937. In doing so, he fulfilled, as he said, “a lifelong wish”. Here, surrounded by his works, he received friends and guests and showed them his newest or favorite paintings. Nowhere else can you get as close to Emil Nolde’s perspective as in this picture room. He is the center of the annual exhibitions, which change every year, with over 30 newly presented paintings. All of the pictures are framed in strict, dark frames and arranged in two rows. This may seem confusing at first glance, but this unusually dense hanging corresponds to Nolde’s intention. The Nolde Foundation Seebüll therefore feels committed to presenting his individual work in the picture gallery. https://museen.de/nolde-stiftung-seebuell-neukirchen.html
