At the end of the 12th century, St. Jacobi Church was built on a hill. It is the best-known and most beautiful of the three "farmers' cathedrals," along with Altenbruch and Otterndorf.

The size of the church building and its numerous pieces of art and furnishings of great art-historical value attest to the wealth of the farming families, as does the famous Wilde-Schnitger organ, which is over 400 years old.
