Evangelische Kirche Boxberg-Wölchingen, Romanesque parish church in Wölchingen, Germany

The Frankendom, also called the Evangelical Church of Boxberg-Wölchingen, is a three-aisled pillar basilica with a cruciform plan: a transept set before the choir, three nearly square bays over the nave and transept, six half-sized bays in each aisle, and a round crypt beneath the choir apse. The west facade is divided by pilaster strips, and a round-arch frieze with masks and animal figures runs along the gable.

The church was probably built between 1220 and 1270 by the Knights Hospitaller, who had received goods from Kraft von Boxberg in 1192; it is first documented in 1287. In 1381 it passed to the Knights of Rosenberg, who introduced the Reformation in Boxberg in 1559. The originally towerless building received its octagonal tower over the crossing in 1878/79.

The church is a designated cycle-route church (Radwegekirche), welcoming cyclists on the routes through the Tauber valley. Its 1961–63 stained-glass windows by Valentin Feuerstein depict Old and New Testament scenes, including a Crucifixion in the choir apse and Christ as ruler of the world in the rose window.

The church is located in Boxberg-Wölchingen and can be visited most days with access arranged through the local parish office. It is helpful to contact the parish in advance to confirm visiting hours and any special conditions for entry.

The round crypt beneath the choir apse is roofed by a single central column with an octagonal capital. A niche in its wall probably held a symbolic body of Christ, indicating the crypt was laid out as a Holy Sepulcher. The church also serves as a Radwegekirche, a designated stop for cyclists on the route.
