The Lutheran Paulskirche in Kirchheimbolanden is a castle church and, after the castle, the most important building in the city. On the outside, it looks rather inconspicuous.

Church building

Construction began in 1739, one year after the construction of the new palace began. In 1744 the church was completed in the form of a transverse church .

A structural duplicate of the Paulskirche was built by the same court architect, state master builder Julius Ludwig Rothweil , as a court and palace church from 1707 to 1713 in Weilburg . The Paulskirche in Kirchheimbolanden has a special feature in that it has no church tower and no bells . Another church in the vicinity is responsible for the carillon, the Peterskirche. While the Paulskirche appears rather simple on the outside, it has been furnished in a more elaborate way.

Furnishing

Mozart organ

One of the few pulpit clocks preserved in Rhineland-Palatinate is located in the Neupfarrkirche .

organ

The so-called Mozart organ, one of the last original baroque organs by Johann Michael Stumm with 45 stops , three manuals and a pedal with 2830 pipes , on which the namesake himself played in 1778, is one of the most famous sights of the city.
