Pellworm

Tucked into the North Sea among the North Frisian Islands, Pellworm is a place whose character is shaped by low-lying marshland protected by dikes. The island lies beside the Wadden Sea, a tidal coast of mudflats, salt marshes and shifting channels that forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site shared by Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands. Pellworm remains a rural island community, with farms, small settlements and cycling lanes rather than an urban centre. Its red-and-white lighthouse, built in 1907, is a familiar landmark on the flat horizon. The Romanesque St Salvator Church, known locally as the Alte Kirche, recalls the island’s medieval Frisian past.
