Church
The church is named after the patron saint and is considered a landmark of Frisian brick architecture
The church is named after Saint Jodocus, the patron saint of travelers and sailors, and is considered a landmark of Frisian brick architecture, as it was mainly built in brick.We find a chapel from the end of the 15th century, originally with a flat wooden beam ceiling, with a free-standing brick bell tower and a tile-covered hipped roof from the second half of the 16th century. 

The chapel is mentioned in a document from 1497 and was presumably built by the part of the population that lived from beach robbery as a flat-roofed hall building without a choir, apse or tower. The former parish of Hoonsdeep was named after the church of St. Joost at the end of the 18th century. Opposite the church are our parish rooms (Alte Pastorei).
