The Protestant St. Martin's Church is located in a beautiful spot just above the village center.

The entrance is very atmospheric, via a sandstone staircase and through an archway.

Unfortunately, it is only open during the day in the summer. In February, we would find the door locked.

The Protestant St. Martin's Church in Leinsweiler dates back to the 13th century.

Its history, however, dates back to the late Merovingian period, to the 7th/8th century. It was presumably founded as a chapel at the court of the Franconian founder of the town, Landswinda, and dedicated to the Franconian national saint, St. Martin.

It is a hall building with a late Gothic choir, nave, and tower.

The sundial dates from 1596, and the churchyard gate and sandstone staircase leading to the church

were added in the 18th century.
