St. Vitus church (Gärtringen)
St. Vitus church is one of the best-preserved churches in Württemberg / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Protestant St. Vitus church in Gärtringen is considered one of the best-preserved late Gothic village churches in Württemberg. The oldest surviving component is the tower, which was built between 1455 and 1460.[1] With its height of 38.5 meters, which can be attributed to its former use as a fortified and watchtower, it still represents the dominant landmark of the village. The year 1496, when the choir was completed, is considered the year of construction of the pilaster church.[2]

The continuously vaulted village church has unusually rich late Gothic vault paintings and is classified as a monument of special importance.[3] The interior of the church, which is in need of renovation, was extensively restored from May 2009 to September 2010.[4]
