Evangelische Stadtkirche

Built in Gothic style between 1896 and 1897, this church features three galleries, wooden ceilings, and a tower with a clock house in North German brick architecture.

The construction became necessary when the previous evangelical church from 1738 near the former castle square proved too small for the growing congregation in the 17th century.

The church maintains its original function as a Reformed preaching church while incorporating elements of French Early Gothic and Hessian hall church architectural styles.

The building received a restored organ in 2020, originally built by Wilhelm Sauer in 1904, featuring 2362 pipes across 40 registers distributed over three manuals and pedals.

The church houses historical interior elements, including a choir bench dating back to 1477, representing centuries of Protestant heritage in the region.
