The Evangelical Church is a Romanesque choir tower church in Raubach ( Neuwied district ) in Rhineland-Palatinate .
history
Around the year 1000 the church consecrated to St. Castor von Karden was owned by the Koblenz Castor Foundation . Later it belonged to the estate of the provost until it was given to the chapter of St. Castor to improve the prebends according to a document from Archbishop Theodorich von Trier from 1226 . In 1532 the monastery sold the tithe and patronage rights to the Archbishop of Trier , who sold them to Johann IV von Wied in 1570 after the Reformation was introduced by the Count of Wied.
The current church was built around 1200 and was not changed except for the windows in the nave and the southern choir wall and the addition of the northern aisle and the vestibule. The choir tower with a diamond roof and the choir bay in the basement has a retracted apse , which is divided by pilaster strips and arched frieze.
organ
The organ originally in the evangelical parish church in Raubach came from the workshop of the organ builder Christian Ernst Schöler from Bad Ems . The instrument, built in 1802 with 13 stops on a manual and pedal , was transferred to the Protestant church of Delling and has been preserved there.
Monument protection
The church building is shown in the list of monuments of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate as a cultural monument and is therefore under monument protection .
