It looks closer to "Lindtholm" (Lindholm) to me.

I agree with @JohnsonGreg .
Forgive me if you've heard this before, but I'll share a method that may be helpful in the future. If you know one place-name for sure - I assume you know the name of the parish this record is from, for example? Or even looking at the image, a larger and more clearly printed word on line 9 stands out to me: Lüngerau. Use that KNOWN place-name as a starting-block to find the UNKNOWN place-name.
Step 1) Write down your best-guess for the unknown place-name, underlining the parts you're most confident in. In this case, I'd say you were probably confident it began with an L and ended with "olm", correct?
Step 2) Look up the known place-name on Meyersgaz.org. Here's a link to Lüngerau on that website:
Step 3) Familiarize yourself with the area by reading through other place-names on the "Ecclesiastical" tab and/or moving around the historical map viewable on the "Map" tab.
Most often by following these steps, I come across a place-name that catches my attention = a good candidate for the unknown place-name.
Give it a try - you'll find that there was/is a Lindholm 15 miles from Lüngerau, but no Lütjenholm in the area that I could see.
Happy researching!

Thanks for your help! I too looked on Meyers, just didn't look far enough north :) Lütjenholm is inbetween. The record was located in Bredstedt. Does it say she was from Lindholm? or were they married in Lindholm?

Yes, it says she was from Lindholm. The marriage would have occurred in the parish (or village if this is a civil record) where this document was recorded.
