Holy Spirit Church Wacken

Highlight • Religious Site

Inside, with its flat beamed ceiling, there is a realistic crucifix from around 1600, made with great care, which comes from the Nicolai Church in Itzehoe and was donated by the Klahn family. In addition to a 17th-century painting of the Holy Family, we find a portrait of H.v. Neergaard from 1888, who is to be regarded as the founder of the parish, and also a portrait of the parish's first pastor, Detlef Rolfs, who worked in Wacken from 1863 to 1873. Baptism, altar cloth and communion utensils are donations from various landowners. A large painting by the painter van Dyck depicting the Holy Family was donated to the church in 1892 by a resident.

The ferries across the Kiel Canal run around the clock as needed. You'll definitely come over, no matter when you come. And it's free. There is nothing to complain about. ;)
