The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Carolinensiel in Wittmund-Carolinensiel is one of only two churches in the world built on a dike. It was erected in 1776, is part of the Carolinensiel Museum Trail, and is a protected monument.
When the first residents settled on the dike in 1730, a year after the diking and founding of the town, they attended church services in Funnix or Werdum. It was not until 1770 that they received permission to build a church. The simple rectangular church built of brick features a gabled roof that is hipped on the western and eastern narrow sides. It was consecrated on October 20, 1776. The two long sides of the rectangular building each have four large arched windows. The only portal of the church is located on the west side and also has an arch.
