The Protestant Church is the largest church in Nünschweiler and one of the most important arch-style churches in the Palatinate . It is a listed building.

History and meaning

The church made of red sandstone blocks was built between 1906 and 1908 on the old cemetery of the village. Architect Karl Doflein planned it as a stately gallery basilica in late Romanesque forms based on contemporary Berlin architecture.

The exterior shows the choir, which is clearly separated from the nave, with a mighty, arched, closed window that takes up almost the entire width of the choir. The interior has a saddlecloth that is coffered. The gallery resting on cast iron supports forms an oval in the three-aisled structure, so that the longitudinal space through the gallery has received a centralized spatial impression in accordance with the requirements of the Wiesbaden program . The technical side of the cast iron and the architectural neo-Romanesque based on the Staufer brought a Prussian note to the Palatinate at the beginning of the 20th century, still in the Bavarian era .

The organ, the pulpit and the altar are in the choir. The equipment from the time it was built was retained.
