An evangelical church that appears simple and unpretentious both inside and out. All the more reason for the organ, with its baroque facade, to be the eye-catcher. The instrument was replaced by a new one in 1896. However, the facade still dates from the Schlottmann organ from 1752. Johannes Schlottmann (1726-1795) temporarily ran his organ-building workshop here in Friedewald. He is a truly tragic figure in music history. Envy from competitors, but certainly also too little business acumen, repeatedly got him into difficulties, including insolvency and imprisonment. His Friedewald workshop was auctioned off, and he worked as a travelling organ builder. The organs that have survived from him are nevertheless of remarkable quality.

The exact date of the first church built on this site is unknown, as the records did not survive the Thirty Years' War. In the 17th century, the existing church was evidently destroyed and rebuilt several times. The current chancel tower church was built in 1746 according to plans by the Kassel state architect Giovanni Ghezzi, with the parish and their pastor, Konrad Hermann Meurer, carrying out the majority of the construction work themselves. A major renovation took place in 1958. Source: Wikipedia

Access to Friedewald Castle is via a gate on the west side. This gate is flanked by the so-called Thick Tower. The Thick Tower was the thickest of the four towers and had outer walls that were 3.5 meters thick in places.
