[DE] Die evangelische Kirche in Weidelbach wurde 1817 als barocker Saalbau in Fachwerk errichtet. Sie ersetzte die ehemalige Kapelle, die dem heiligen Antonius geweiht war. Das Fachwerk wurde verputzt oder hinter Schiefer gelegt, so dass es von außen nicht mehr sichtbar ist. Wunderschöne Blumenmotive zieren die Brüstungen und die Empore. Im Übergang der Wände zur Decke finden sich mehrere Fresken.

[EN] The Protestant Church in Weidelbach was built in 1817 as a truss hall construction. It replaced the former chapel, which was dedicated to St. Anthony. The timber was placed behind plaster or slate, so it is not visible from the outside. Beautiful floral motifs adorn the parapets and the gallery. In the transition of the walls to the ceiling, there are several frescoes.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1817
