'''Wilster''' is a town in [[Steinburg]] district in [[Schleswig-Holstein]], [[Germany]].
== History ==
Wilster was granted town rights under [[Lübeck law]] in [[1282]], and thereby counts itself among Schleswig-Holstein's oldest towns. Wilster forms the centre of the Wilstermarsch, a major [[cattle]] raising area in Germany.
On [[1 July]] [[2005]], the town administration and the ''[[Amt (subnational entity)|Amt]]'' of Wilstermarsch merged into one authority.
== Sightseeing ==
The Old Town Hall built in [[1585]] is among Schleswig-Holstein's finest preserved [[Renaissance]] buildings.
Moreover, the late [[Baroque]] St. Bartholomew's Church, built by [[Ernst Georg Sonnin]] between [[1775]] and [[1781]], and the New Town Hall (Doos'sche Palais) built in [[1786]] are also worth seeing.
