Dorfkirche, Lutheran church in Rentweinsdorf, Germany

St. Martin is a Lutheran hall church built in 1708 in Salmsdorf, with a rectangular nave and a square choir recessed at the west end. Its gabled roof, hipped at the west, carries a hexagonal slate-covered roof turret with an onion dome, housing the clock and bells. The portal received a new canopy in 1724.

St. Martin was built in 1708 as a hall church with a nave and a square choir set into the interior at the west end. The portal received its new hood in 1724. The parish belongs to the Rentweinsdorf parish in the Rügheim deanery of the Bayreuth church district of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria.

The church is named after Martin of Tours, and the round-arched window above the altar shows Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Two other round-arched windows hold 19th-century stained glass. The parish belongs to the Rentweinsdorf parish in the Rügheim deanery of the Bayreuth church district.

The location is easily reached along local roads in Rentweinsdorf and sits at the center of the village. Visitors should be aware that regular services take place, so access may vary depending on scheduled events.

The church's only datable fitting is the west portal, given a new hood moulding in 1724, sixteen years after the building went up. The hexagonal roof turret with its slate cladding, onion dome, clock and bell frame sits at the east end of the ridge, not over the choir.
