The Protestant town church was rebuilt in 1887. The building site was specially filled in so that the church, which is elevated in the centre of the town, stands out from the surrounding buildings. The church and the square are beautifully designed.

The Protestant church in Bad Rappenau was built in 1887/88 from Keupersan stone by the church architect Hermann Bahagel according to the so-called "Eisenacher Regulativ". This means that it is oriented lengthways and facing east and built on a floor plan in the shape of a Latin cross in the neo-Gothic style. It is one of the most perfectly formed and structurally exemplary church buildings in the neo-Gothic style.

In 1609 the church was enlarged. The structure was 22 meters long and nine meters wide. In the course of this expansion, the cemetery originally located around the church was abandoned and a new cemetery was set up on the outskirts. During the Thirty Years War the place was devastated by Tilly's troops in 1622. In 1634 it is reported that the citizens of Rappenau “faithfully helped to plunder the church and rectory and to sell the inventory”. From 1640 to 1654 the pastor's post was vacant, and the pastoral service was carried out by pastors from nearby towns. In 1655 the church was still damaged. The neighboring manor was also destroyed in the Thirty Years War, its stones were used to rebuild the also destroyed band house, which was in the vicinity of the church until 1970. The church itself was not completely restored until 1686, when a new pulpit was donated. The local lord Uriel von Gemmingen and his wife Ursula donated two bronze bells in 1698. Source: Wikipedia
