The Lutheran church in Wüppels is located off the road between Hooksiel and Horumersiel in the middle of a historic village. The church with its single-nave, flat-roofed nave dates back to the end of the 13th century. The wooden beamed ceiling and the adjacent bell tower date from the 17th century. The tombstones of the chieftains of Fischhausen Castle deserve special attention. The pulpit with Moses as the pulpit bearer, the altarpiece and the ornate baptismal font (made of wood!) are evidence of great rural craftsmanship. 

The old village of Wüppels still shows the partially renovated houses that made up the villages in the old days: The church and school, the village inn and poorhouse, the sexton's house and the vicarage stand around the village square. In 1909, Wüppels was merged with the parish of St. Joost to form one parish. Together with Pakens-Hooksiel, it forms a joint parish.

Worship service: monthly, Sundays, 10 am, as well as an evening service every two months on the 1st Sunday of the month at 7 pm (see notice board)
