history
The church in Wallbach was built in the first half of the 16th century. The church tower was built in the Renaissance style . At first it looked like a defense tower . The nave consists of a sandstone basement, an upper floor with a Henneberg-Franconian half-timbering and a crooked hip roof , which makes it very similar to a farmhouse. In 1644, during the Thirty Years' War , the church was partially destroyed by arson. When it was rebuilt by 1680, the church tower was given new window shapes and the nave a new half-timbered structure and galleries inside . The church interior contains baroque style elements. In 1748 an organ with baroque carvings was installed.
In the 1950s, the interior of the church was given a new painting that covered up biblical panels from the time it was built. The organ gallery was built into the chancel and the altar was moved. In 2001 the Wallbach village church got a magnetically operated ring with three bells. The preserved mechanical organ is now a sight.
