Culture

St. Christian Church was built in 1109. It has the oldest organ in northern Germany, built in 1512. The winged altar from 1596 is regarded as a significant work of Mannerism in Schleswig-Holstein. The 43-meter-high tower of St. Christian is the highest point on the Eiderstedt Peninsula. In the past, the tower served as a navigation mark because it was visible far out in the North Sea.

The Kulturhaus hosts art exhibitions, literature groups, readings, a writing workshop, and a children's art workshop. Since 1998, the Gardinger Musikantenbörse has been a recurring concert event for musicians and music enthusiasts. Historical town tours explain Garding's history and show corners that visitors might not find on their own. Two-hour historical town tours are offered for individuals and groups and can be booked on request.
