The Protestant church is a listed church building in Daaden .

The previous church was built in 1136 and rebuilt from 1722 to 1724 according to plans by the architect Julius Ludwig Rothweil . Only the Romanesque west tower of the old church was retained, raised and given a double onion dome. The pillar-less nave rises above a cross-shaped floor plan , making it a hall building . The originally preserved stalls can accommodate around 2,000 people in up to three galleries. The pulpit altar with the organ front rising above it in late Baroque style also dates from the time it was built in the 18th century , a system that can be found more frequently in Protestant church buildings. The old bells are the death knell for I. Kaiser Wilhelm be cracked, from the bronze commemorative plaques were cast in the tower entrance later.

An extensive renovation took place in 1959.
