Evangelische Kirche Alpen, Protestant church in Alpen, Germany
The church features a polygonal bell tower topped with a lantern and curved dome, complemented by brick walls and ribbed vaulting throughout the structure.
The foundation stone was laid in 1602 by Electress Amalia of the Palatinate, with construction completed by architect Johann Pasqualini between 1602 and 1604.
The church displays early Baroque architecture with Italian influences, incorporating the choir of a Gothic Nicholas Chapel as a burial chamber.
The building contains a 1771 organ with 25 registers across two manuals and pedals, featuring divided stops and a side-mounted console arrangement.
This structure stands as Germany's first church specifically constructed as a Reformed Protestant congregation church, with subsequent restorations in 1902 and 1926.
