The St. Marien Magdalenen Church in the center of the village was built in the 12th century as a Romanesque stone church. In the church there is a votive ship , which is reminiscent of the navigation on the Eider, and - as a rarity - a pulpit clock . The Dithmarschers partially destroyed the church in an attack in 1402, so that its roof in its current form was not built until it was rebuilt.

Since Duke Adolf I of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf had the Treene dam near Friedrichstadt in 1570 , the water balance in the region changed and the region around Erfde was flooded by storm surges until 1935 .

The town of Erfde was ravaged by major fires twice: 42 buildings and the pastorate were destroyed in 1698 and almost the entire village was destroyed in a fire in 1768 that lasted for three days.

In the village there is one of the peasant bells typical of the Stapelholm landscape , with which the farmer bailiff called the residents to meetings or to get work done. In the event of danger, the bells served as a warning signal.
