Hiking

The Evangelical Church in Weipoltshausen in the municipality of Lohra in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district is a hall church of the 16th century. The listed church with a retracted rectangular choir and a small roof rider was doubled in length in 1965 to the west. It is located directly on the Elisabethpfad and is a real visual highlight.

Hiking

With the introduction of the Reformation, the place changed as a branch of Kirchvers from 1527 to the evangelical confession. A small church was built in the 16th century. [4] At the end of the 16th century, Weipoltshausen formed a parish with Kirchvers and Rodenhausen. In 1604, the parish under Landgrave Moritz adopted the Reformed faith, only to finally return to the Lutheran faith with his abdication in 1624.

In 1965 the church was enlarged to double its length. The new west wall received a new entrance door.
