Gaggstatt Church
Highlight • Religious Site
The church was built between 1904 and 1905 according to plans by the renowned architect Theodor Fischer, who was personally recommended by King Wilhelm II of Württemberg.
It is a hall church made of shell limestone quarry stone combined with sandstone decorations.
The twin-towered façade features round towers, beneath whose conical roofs lies a bridge housing the bells.
A central arcade design of the galleries and a wood-beamed ceiling characterize the interior.
The gallery balustrades are artfully painted in shades of blue and bear biblical inscriptions. For example, the biblical quotation "Blessed are those who hear God's word and keep it" is adorned above the organ loft.
The pulpit stands in the center, elevated by stone. It is based on a relief band bearing the inscription "One thing is needed!" and is flanked by figures: Jesus in a gesture of blessing and Mary of Bethany.
The organ loft itself features an Art Nouveau relief scene: the Nativity, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the Resurrection of Christ.
Two boy sculptures at the main portal (lyre on the left, violin on the right) carry banners bearing the hymns "Hallelujah – sing to the Lord" and "Give thanks to Him, praise His name." A face of Christ is emblazoned above the portal.
The organ itself dates from 1905 and was built by the Friedrich Goll company.

Since 2016 Kirchberg Castle has belonged to the "House of Farmers" foundation. It is the social work and socio-political foundation of the Schwäbisch Hall Farmers' Association, an association of 1,450 farms from the Hohenlohe region in Baden-Württemberg.
The foundation is committed to freedom, self-determination and social justice for the peasant and rural population. It is committed to the principles of sustainable action and sustainable management. In addition to its commitment to the local rural population, the foundation is committed to the implementation of fundamental democratic rights of indigenous peoples in rural regions worldwide.
The aim is to create an interdisciplinary center for culture and education, an academy with a focus on ecological agriculture and the food industry. This includes gastronomy with local (organic) products and a hotel in the rooms of the castle, also for external guests. schloss-kirchberg-jagst.de
