Evangelical Church Bullau
The Protestant church is a church building in Bullau , a district of Erbach (Odenwald) in the Odenwald district in Hesse , which, together with the cemetery enclosed by a quarry stone wall, is a listed building.
The small, Romanesque choir tower was probably built in the 12th century. The bell chamber is slated, the tower is crowned with a pyramid helmet. The late Gothic portal is on the west side. At the triumphal arch , a Roman is votive stone walled. This stone is a replica, the original is in the possession of the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museums in Mannheim. The hexagonal font with a pointed arch frieze is Gothic.
After it fell into disrepair in the Thirty Years War , the church was renovated in 1726–1728 and some of the windows were fitted with new ones. On the north wall of the church, a plague stone from 1632 reminds of the needs of the war.
