Lienzingen Churchcastle

In Mühlacker-Lienzingen, the fortified church of Lienzingen is a well-preserved defensive complex enclosing a church. Originally mentioned as a simple church, it evolved into a refuge for the local population.

The first documented mention of a church in Lienzingen dates back to 1186. Around the year 1400, the complex began to be expanded into a refuge castle. During this period, a curtain wall and so-called 'Gaden', which served as church chambers or storage rooms, were constructed.
