The municipality consists of the hamlet of Esgrus, where the church is located, and which gave the municipality its name, three villages - Wippendorf, Brunsholm and Esgrusschauby - and four other hamlets (Atzbüll, Birzhaft, Grünholz, Haveholz).[2] Esgrus is located in the northeast of Anglia, 6 km from the Gelting Bay and the Baltic Sea.

St. Mary's Church from the 12th century is one of the oldest fieldstone churches in Anglia. The Frauenhof estate is located in the southeast of the municipality.  The representative three-sided farm can be reached via a picturesque alley with a half-timbered gatehouse. A second manor house is Brunsholmhof.
