The church was built in 1866 and thoroughly renovated in 1929. The parish of St. Knud auf Nordstrand belongs to the Archdiocese of Hamburg and, in addition to Nordstrand, includes the island of Pellworm and the Halligen Nordstrandischmoor, Südfall and Süderoog.
Built in 1889, the Dutch windmill was in operation as a windmill until 1942. A storm on 23 December 1954 threw off the cap and wind rose and sealed them with a flat roof. It remained in operation until 1970. In 1970, the café "Glück zu" was set up in the mill house. The mill was restored at great expense in the following years, and on September 11, 1982, the "maiden race" could begin.
It's not only in bad weather that a visit to the Nordstrand Island Museum is worthwhile. The island museum gives an insight into the history of Nordstrand, which was given its special shape by severe storm surges and their consequences.
