EN: The Reformed City Church of Lenzburg is located in the northwest corner of the old town.
It was newly built around 1667. The late Gothic steeple was taken over from of a previous building from 1601; it is slightly skewed to the nave, but the offset is not easy to detect with the naked eye. The single nave is very simple on the outside. It has five rows of windows and two entrances at each side wall. The interior still contains some furniture from the 17th and 18th century.
DE: Die evangelisch-reformierte Stadtkirche von Lenzburg befindet sich in der nordwestlichen Ecke der Altstadt.
Sie wurde um 1667 neu erbaut. Der spätgotische Kirchturm stammt von von einem Vorgängerbau von 1601; er steht leicht schief zum Kirchenschiff, der Versatz ist aber von blossem Auge kaum zu entdecken. Das einschiffige Langhaus ist äusserlich sehr einfach gestaltet. Es hat fünf Fensterreihen und je zwei Eingänge an den Seitenwänden. Das Innere enthält noch einige Einrichtungsgegenstände aus dem 17. und 18. Jahrhundert.
