At the time of the Reformation, Ensheim already had a parish church, which – despite several repairs and two renovations – is still in use today. The first major renovation took place in 1722, as the nave had become dilapidated and was no longer sufficient for the growing congregation. The main building was extended and renovated during this process. In 1830, another renovation followed, which was limited to the choir. In the following hundred years, the church underwent several renovations, particularly in the years 1875 and…
For centuries there has been a large country estate just outside the medieval town wall of Bad Kreuznach - today it is a romantic tree garden, which was created in the 19th century as a landscape park. The pond in the park dates back to the 18th century, when a moated castle stood here. Over the years, however, the park was repeatedly redesigned by its changing owners. Today, the Schlosspark Museum is located in the middle of the park, which together with the pond forms an aesthetic unit that in itself is worth visiting.

The former Gothic church was devastated and the inauguration of the current Baroque church took place in 1715. The preserved chancel of the former church is still used today as a sacristy. Especially noteworthy are the Baroque altars, which are unusual for a small village church. From this period date the donation box and the baptismal font. The colored stained glass windows designed by an artist from Mainz in 1906 depict beautiful images of saints. Next to the high altar, one can see the statues of the patron saints Philip and James. In the…
