The Freckenfeld Wolfgangskirche dates back to the early 16th century. With 500 seats, it is still the largest neo-Gothic village church in the southern Palatinate area. It bears its Protestant name in memory of Archduke Wolfgang von Zweibrücken. In 1678 he gathered his troops in the “fields” (Freckenfeld-Steinfeld-Minfeld) to assist the threatened French Protestant co-religionists. He paid for this commitment to justified faith with his life.

For almost 200 years, the Freckenfeld Church has been used by the Catholic Church for worship services four times a year. That's why the Catholic name "St. Wolfgang's Church" is still in use today.
