Attractions

church

The church in Wiefels was built as an apse hall in the first half of the 13th century . In the Bremen deanery register , the so-called Stader Copiar , from 1420 the building is mentioned as dilapidated ( quasi destructa ). Reconstruction began in 1450. The lower part of the masonry consists of granite blocks , above it of brick . The high-seated arched windows have a circumferential bulge. The belfry in the northwest of the church dates from the 13th century.

Gut Groß-Scheep

The Groß-Scheep estate is located about one kilometer west of the center of Wiefel, lonely in the marshland .

According to the historian Georg Sello , Remmer von Seediek (* around 1500, † 1557) is considered to be the builder of the manor house of the aristocratic Scheep estate. The well-fortified brick building, a so-called stone house , is an independent type of architecture that has only found widespread use in Germany in East Friesland and Jeverland.

After several changes of ownership, Karl Harms (* 1950) from Jever acquired the property, which was in dire need of renovation, in 1983. A comprehensive renovation of the house followed. A garden area appropriate to the building was also created. Thanks to these measures, the stone house and thus one of the most valuable secular architectural and cultural monuments in Jeverland has been preserved.
