Protestant Church, Protestant church in Haardt an der Weinstraße, Germany.
The Protestant Church is a rectangular hall building with a hipped roof, built in 1781/82 in Baroque style. Its main body is plastered pink with a white-painted corner edge, and four tall arched windows with dark lattice panes line the side wall. A 36-metre tower with a clock and a steep dark spire, added in 1867, adjoins the reddish-brown stone structure.
The Baroque hall church was built in 1781/82 to replace a predecessor that had become too small. The 36-metre tower with its clock and four bells was only added in 1867. The building is listed as a cultural heritage monument in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The church belongs to the Protestant parish of Haardt within the Neustadt deanery of the Evangelical Church of the Palatinate. Its Stumm organ, delivered in 1785 by the Stumm brothers for 1,000 guilders and installed in four weeks, has been played at services and concerts for over 200 years.
The church stands in Haardt, a district of Neustadt an der Weinstraße, on the German Wine Route. The tower clock and the four bells of the 36-metre tower are best seen from outside; the interior with the Stumm organ is open in connection with services and concerts. Visitors should check the parish's service times before planning a look inside.
The Stumm organ of 1785 was built by the Stumm brothers for 1,000 guilders and installed in just four weeks. About 70 to 75 percent of its pipes, windchests and case survive from that period, and the original facade pipes remain in place.
