Great church tower, I wouldn't have expected it in the small town.

There was a parish in Eschental as early as the 13th century. During this time the first church was built, the lower section of the church tower (masonry from the Hohenstaufen era) has been preserved to this day. From 1323 the church belonged to the Johannitern in Hall. Unfortunately, there are no (known) documents about the architecture of the church at that time. The first Protestant pastor was Johann Murhaupt from 1554.
At the end of the 18th century the old parish church was converted into a Protestant church. A century later it is broken off due to various damage and in 1873 the Ev. Kilian's Church built in neo-Romanesque style by Christian Friedrich von Leins. At the same time he raised the church tower in neo-Gothic style, which has been preserved to this day, on the old substructure.
The new building from 1873 showed considerable construction defects early on - the roof structure and masonry were badly damaged by the ingress of rainwater.
The nave was completely rebuilt in 1959 by the architect Wilhelm Tiedje in the shape of a tent roof and structurally connected to the existing neo-Gothic church tower.
