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…
The parish church was built in 1808 on the site of a church that was demolished due to dilapidation. The consecration took place in 1810. The tower of this church is about 50 years younger.
After centuries of use as a simultaneous church by the neighbouring Catholic Church, the foundation stone for the Protestant Church in Friesenheim was laid in 1885. After just over a year of construction under the supervision of architect Professor Heinrich von Schmidt from Munich, the church was consecrated in 1886.

The rest of the interior was designed with Flonheim sandstone. The windows, designed…

Particularly worth seeing is a Gothic font from the 13th…
Built in the 14th century. The lords of Kriegsheim built this building, which is probably the oldest preserved residential building in the municipality. In the 16th century, the residential tower belonged half to the Counts of Leiningen-Hartenberg and half to those of Rodenstein. The three-storey building radiates a certain security and tranquillity, which the observer still feels today. The residential tower is privately owned.
