    Tips

    Directly below Maienfels Castle lies the Protestant Castle Church – a Gothic-influenced religious building dating back to 1433. In 1613, the former castle chapel was converted into a church and is still connected to the castle today via a path through the castle wall. The church impresses with its horseshoe gallery, tracery windows, and Art Nouveau furnishings. Particularly noteworthy are the late Impressionist altarpiece "Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at Jacob's Well" by Ernst H. Graeser and the small bell tower with its Italian-style cap.
