Old Protestant Church (Richen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old Protestant church in Richen

The old Protestant church in Richen , a district of Eppingen in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg , was a Protestant church building built in 1727 .

Since the church, built in 1727, was dilapidated and too small, the Protestant community planned a new building , which was inaugurated in 1845. The old church building was profaned and sold. It has been used as a barn ever since .

The former use as a sacred building can still be seen on the arched portal and the high window openings on the eaves . The building stands as a cultural monument under monument protection .
