Frörup has an old water-powered mill, driven by the Treene River and used for grinding grain. It was probably established in the 13th century. Later, the mill belonged to the Cistercian monastery of Rüde. The abbot there ceded the mill to the King of Denmark in 1543. Today, the mill is privately owned, and the waterwheel is used only for generating electricity. Unfortunately, visits are not possible. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%B6rup

St. Peter's Church in Eggebek is a historical monument worth seeing. An early church in Eggebek, perhaps built from wood as early as the 11th century, is now only a memory, with no physical traces. St. Peter's Church, built around 1200, stands today as a landmark of history, art, and urban development. It shapes Eggebek's cultural landscape and has been listed as a cultural monument. Its furnishings and the walled churchyard bear witness to times past. The church is part of the Eggebek-Jörl parish, which has joined forces with surrounding parishes to form the Star Region to preserve its cultural and spiritual significance. St. Peter's Church in Eggebek, a symphony of bricks in the Romanesque style, stands out for its unique choir and apse. Over time, a nave was added west of the chancel, and porches adorn the north and south portals. The Karnhaus, the northern porch, bears an inscription dating from 1745, a sign of earlier renovations. Initially, a separate oak belfry served as a bell tower, until the present bell tower was built in 1898. It now houses historic bells, including one cast by the Husum bell founder Asmussen in 1684. St. Peter's Church in Eggebek houses a rich heritage of art treasures. A 13th-century Gotland baptismal font, a triumphal cross, and carved figures from the Middle Ages bear witness to a deep religious tradition. The magnificent late Renaissance altar from 1608, surrounded by sculptures of Peter and Paul, as well as paintings of the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection, reflect the church's exquisite craftsmanship. A 16th-century pulpit donated by the Honeke family and a richly decorated gallery complement the art-historical ensemble. The church also houses an organ from the 1950s, continuing the church's musical heritage. https://www.eggebek.de/st-petrus-kirche-eggebek/

These "art attacks" are always worth seeing. Sprayers are beautifying these transformer stations on behalf of Schleswig-Holstein Netz. Here in Tarp it is a field, forest and meadow landscape with the mill and the municipal coat of arms
