The Protestant Church in Langenselbold, a town in the Main-Kinzig district of Hesse, was built between 1727 and 1735. Its foundation stone was laid on May 23, 1727, by Count Wolfgang Ernst von Isenburg-Birstein. The architect was Christian Ludwig Hermann, the master builder from the neighboring County of Hanau, who worked on this project and on the parallel construction project of Langenselbold Castle for Count Wolfgang Ernst. The church and the castle complex are interrelated.

The church was built unplastered from red sandstone and quarry stone masonry. The floor plan is oval with four transepts. The southern transept supports the tower, which is thus located on one of the long sides and emphasizes the transverse church shape of the floor plan. An entrance is located in each of the four projecting transepts. The interior is transversely oriented. The pulpit is located opposite the main entrance on the north wall. Above the main entrance, opposite the altar and pulpit, was the stately box. The interior is dominated by a massive gallery that extends far into the space and is two-story high on the west and east sides. The building is crowned by a high tent roof. This clearly draws inspiration from the design language of the Walloon-Dutch Church in the new town of Hanau and the Reinhardskirche in Steinau an der Straße, begun in 1725 and also designed by Christian Ludwig Hermann.

The building has been preserved essentially in the condition in which it was constructed. However, the interior of the church was altered several times in the 19th century. The stained-glass windows date from 1911. In 1959/60, extensive renovations took place: the old pews were removed and the pulpit wall was altered. The last renovation took place in 2005/06.

The Protestant church, which is well worth seeing, is very close to the castle park.
