description
The Ulrichskirche stands in the north of Neckargemünd on a terrace, which used to be a churchyard , above the Neckar . The single-nave late Gothic building was erected in the 16th century on the foundations of the previous church from the 13th century. The choir tower in the east is not arranged in the central axis of the church, but is shifted asymmetrically to the north. It has three late Gothic tracery windows and a pointed tent roof. The so-called metal donations of the wars survived a bell from 1477. It is decorated with a relief of the old patron St. Ulrich.
The small vestibule south of the nave with a ribbed vault is also late Gothic . The nave is covered with a hipped roof and has a mirror vault . The organ was built in 1785 by the Stumm brothers . In 1935 it was rebuilt by Steinmeyer and restored by Orgelbau Vier in 1995 . The instrument has 26 stops on two manuals and a pedal .
