The Candidus Church in Kentheim is one of the oldest churches in the southwest. It was built around the turn of the millennium and was first mentioned in 1075. It was a gift from the Counts of Calw to the re-blossoming Hirsau Monastery. At that time it was a nunnery and was converted into a parish church in the 13th century.

The Protestant St. Candidus Church in Kentheim, on the B 463 not far from Calw, is of early Romanesque origin and one of the oldest churches in southern Germany. The largely preserved wall paintings inside the church are impressive.

The church is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Very old wall paintings await you inside. Absolutely worth seeing and there are also beautifully situated benches near the church for a rest.

This church alone makes a tour on the beautiful Nagold cycle path worthwhile!

"The Protestant St. Candidus Church is of early Romanesque origin and is one of the oldest churches in southern Germany.

A predecessor of the St. Candidus Church in Kentheim was probably built as a hermitage at the beginning of the 9th century at the instigation of the Reichenau Monastery. In 1075, Kentheim, Sommenhardt and other hamlets were handed over to the Hirsau Monastery, just 6 km down the valley. During the Reformation around 1540, the Kentheim church lost its importance; it was largely used as a church for the dead. For several years now, regular services, weddings and concerts have been taking place again."
