religion

In 1276 a pastor was first mentioned in Frauental. After the Reformation, Frauental belonged to Equarhofen near Uffenheim. In 1810 it was assigned to the Freudenbach parish, to which the Evangelical parish of Frauental still belongs to this day. However, the parish has an old early Gothic church with a single-nave, flat-roofed nave and a slim choir, the former monastery church. In 1879 a transept was demolished. In the north of the church is the former monastery complex with buildings from the 15th to 18th centuries.

The Catholics belong to Creglingen.
