    The foundation stone for the Evangelische Martinskirche Wüstenstein was laid in 1864 and the church was consecrated after its construction in 1867. Today's interior is characterized by the neo-Gothic style. In the church on the left is a side altar from 1710, which was in the previous church, the castle church as part of the Wüstenstein Castle.

    The Protestant St. Martin's Church is a listed building. It was built in 1865 in the neo-Gothic style. It can be seen far beyond Wüstenstein in the Aufseß Valley. In front of the church, there is a beautiful view of the Glockenfels opposite.
