The widely visible St. Katharinen Church in Kleinjörl, with its white exterior, forms a beautiful and effective contrast to the green meadows all around. It is described in the Schleswig-Holstein art topography from 1989 as a “simple late Gothic brick building with a flat-roofed nave and retracted box choir, segmented arched windows and two old portals, plus a south-facing vestibule from 1756 and the west wall and west tower from 1914”.
