The Minoritenkirche in Fritzlar, today the Protestant town church, dates from the 14th century.
After a Franciscan monastery was founded in 1237, the two-nave hall church was built in the first third of the 14th century with a typical Franciscan church architecture.
The church and the monastery were built at the time on the newly built city wall next to the work gate. The "Minoritenkirche" was built as a two-aisled Gothic hall, which was completed in 1320 and served as a Franciscan monastery church until its secularization in 1811.
Inside the gothic hall church, in addition to the Baroque Nepomuk altar from 1735, there is also a group of graves and a fresco (both from the first half of the 14th century) and an epitaph for Pierre Etienne Monnot.
In 1818 it was decided to provide the vacant church to the Protestant community, which celebrated its first service on May 26, 1818.
A complete renovation took place in 1929, a fundamental interior renovation in 1982, in which a new organ was erected on the west wall of the church with organ pipes of the previous organ.
