The village church St. Petri Mönkebude was built in 1933/34. The Völlckner-Organ was restored 1996/97 for a summer concert.
The church building is situated in an east-west orientation on a trapezoidal site between a country road and a local traffic route about 1000 m from the shore of the lagoon. The height of the tower, including the cross, is 18 meters. The church is built of brick masonry (wall thickness: nave 50 cm, tower 62.5 cm) as a simple, single-nave hall church (roof pitch approx. 45°), with a recessed wooden beam ceiling and barrel-vaulted chancel. A photovoltaic system (2002-2004) was installed on the south side of the roof. With its octagonal spire, the church tower resembles a lighthouse with a viewing gallery.
