St. Severin is a Lutheran parish church in Keitum on the island of Sylt, northern Germany. It was named after the 4th-century bishop Severin of Cologne. Built in the Romanesque style and first documented in 1240, the church stands back from the town at a higher elevation. Tests have shown that the roof of the church can be dated to 1216, making it the oldest religious building in Schleswig-Holstein. The tower was built around 1450 and served as a navigation mark for seafarers as well as a prison. ==History== The site upon which the church now stands initially housed a sanctuary to Odin and was used for the worship of Germanic gods.〔("Kirchen auf Sylt" ), Sylt. Retrieved 6 April 2013.〕 According to legend, the Danish king Canute the Great (995–1035) provided money and stones for a church to be built in Keitum. The first documented reference to the church dates from 1240.〔("Kirchengeschichte" ), St Severin. Retrieved 5 April 2013.〕 It was probably initially dedicated to St Canute.〔(Christiane Retzlaff, "Keitumer Kirchenführer machten sich auf den Weg: Severin und Martin – die Freundschaft zweier Heiliger" ), ''Sylter Spiegel'', 21 December 2011. Retrieved 5 April 2013.〕 Tests recently carried out by Hamburg University's Institut für Holzbiologie (Wood Biology Institute) indicate that the building's roof rafters are from 1216, making the church the oldest in Schleswig-Holstein. The wood used in other parts of the church appears to have the same origin, indicating that not only the nave but also the chancel and the apse can also be dated to 1216. The tower, however, is more recent, from the mid-15th century.〔(Ulrike Bergmann, "St. Severin: Die älteste Kirche im Land" ), ''Sylter Rundschau'', 30 June 2010. Retrieved 5 April 2013.〕¨ As a result of the plague in 1350 and the Grote Mandrenke storm in 1362, the island was depopulated and the church abandoned. Missionaries from the Archdiocese of Cologne restored the islanders' faith, dedicating the church to St. Severin in memory of the 4th-century bishop of Cologne. In 1544, the church became Lutheran.〔
