Merklingen: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

Merklingen’s fortified church is a medieval church complex that formerly belonged to Herrenalb Abbey. The ensemble surrounding the Protestant Remigius Church was once a town protected by a circular defensive wall and moat.

The Remigius Church in Merklingen was rebuilt with Late Gothic elements after a fire in 1417. Its massive eastern tower features loopholes. Notable features of the interior include tombs and epitaphs dating from 1574 and 1612.

Visitors can take guided tours in and around the fortified church or follow a self-guided historical village tour that begins at the town hall. The tour includes the gatehouse, the defensive tower, the Remigius Church, the Stone House, and other historic buildings.
