Ulrichskirche

The Ulrichskirche rises on a terrace above the Neckar River, displaying a late Gothic single-nave structure with an asymmetrically positioned tower on its east side. The building presents itself as a unified structure with characteristic Gothic elements and proportions.

The building was constructed in the 16th century on foundations from the 13th century and was already documented in 1496 as property of the Abbey of Schönau. This early connection to ecclesiastical administration shaped the religious function of the place for generations.

The church serves the local Protestant congregation and supports musical performances centered on its Stumm organ with two manuals and pedals. These events create a space where music and worship come together for the community.

The church entrance is located at Hauptstraße 60 in the old town district, with parking available via Schiffgasse near the Neckar. The terraced location means visitors should expect a few steps for access to the building.

A bell from 1477 displays a relief of Saint Ulrich and testifies to the craftsmanship of that era. This bell continues to mark the passage of time at this location and connects visitors to centuries of skilled work.
