    The church dates from 1280 and is not only an eye-catcher from the outside. Inside there is a splendid, carved office, which probably comes from the sculptor Hans Gudewerdt from the nearby Eckernförde.

    The fact that the church has always been of central importance for this place is evident in Karby's name: It is made up of the Danish terms for church (“Karke”) and “by” for village.

    The place name Karby (church village) is derived from Danish usage. The term "Karke" stands for church, "by" means village. Historically, Karby has always been the village with the church in the parish of the Schwansen region.

    Karby has a church in the early Gothic style from 1280. The 24 meter high, striking tower with a gabled roof is particularly striking. Not only outside, but also inside the church in Karby is a real eye-catcher. The carved chancellery from 1592 probably comes from the carving workshop of Hans Gudewerdt from Eckernförde.

    The brick church was built in Gothic style around 1300 and is prominently located in the center of town. A large cemetery is attached to the church. The nave, choir, sacristy and tower hall are covered by ribbed vaults. The mighty tower, visible from afar, was added later. A crypt was discovered under the altar during restoration work. Late Gothic paintings have been preserved inside.
