The church is very beautiful, but it is not called St. Nicolai Church, but rather Church St. Fabian and Sebastian in Schwesing.

The Theodor Storm House (Theodor Storm Museum, Storm Center) in Husum, Schleswig-Holstein, is a literary museum dedicated to the poet and writer Theodor Storm, who lived here from 1866 to 1880. On the ground floor of the house at Wasserreihe 31 are the former bailiff's residence and Storm's study. Upstairs is the so-called "china room" with antique tableware. Also on display are pictures and objects belonging to the poet and his circle of acquaintances. The living room is preserved in a state similar to that of Storm's lifetime, while the so-called "Hademarschen Room" commemorates the poet's final years. The remaining rooms house a scholarly library and an archive used for research projects of the Storm Society.

Theodor Storm lived here. The White Rider still appears, not least in a song by the band Torfrock.

The buoy tender "Hildegard", a museum ship from the North Frisian Maritime Museum, is moored on the old slipway at the new town hall. From here, the perspectives are presented in a completely different light and interesting images of the ship and the harbor can be captured. And you can also learn something about the ship from 1907 from the information board. The slipway is accessible at any time, regardless of the museum's opening hours.
