Stadtkirche Schwaigern, Protestant church in Schwaigern, Germany

The Stadtkirche Schwaigern features a two-nave hall church design with a main nave extending 30 meters and a dominant choir tower from earlier construction periods.

The church building traces back to the 13th century, with major Gothic-style expansions undertaken between 1514 and 1520 under the direction of architect Bernhard Sporer.

The Barbara Altar, created in 1510 by painter Jerg Ratgeb, displays eleven scenes depicting the life and martyrdom of Saint Barbara through detailed artwork.

The church underwent modernization in 1910 with the installation of heating and lighting systems, followed by choir renovations in 1962 and window updates in the 1990s.

The church houses numerous stone grave plates of the Neipperg nobles, including those of Georg Wilhelm von Neipperg and his wife Anna Barbara von Schwarzenberg.
