    The Protestant Church of the Last Supper in Haigerloch shows the world's only original-size replica of Leonardo da Vinci's famous Last Supper. The church was built between 1860 and 1863 according to plans by the royal Prussian saltworks inspector K. L. Raiffeisen, a brother of the founder of the agricultural cooperatives. The church building is in neo-Gothic style, similar to the Zollernburg, which had just been completed at the time. In 1952 - 1953, the Düsseldorf painter Friedrich Schüz, a brother of the then pastor Martin Schüz, fulfilled a lifelong dream in Haigerloch. After decades of working on Leonardo's main work, the Last Supper, and its progressive deterioration, he decided to reconstruct it in the dimensions of the original, supported by the Tübingen graphic artist Gerhard Halbritter and the Giessen painter Walter Kröll. This is how the replica of Leonardo da Vinci's Holy Supper was created in the chancel of the church.

      Built from 1860 to 1863 in the Gothic Revival style. The church building is aligned with the then completed Zollernburg.
