    The Waldensian Church in Pinache is the oldest and largest solid Waldensian church in Germany. In 1702, the religious refugees first built a wooden church. However, this was soon in danger of collapsing, so the then pastor Jean Giraud asked Duke Eberhard Ludwig of Württemberg for financial support.

    The construction of the solid church was made possible by collections, especially in the reformed countries, England, Holland and Switzerland. The church was completed and consecrated in 1721.

    Church records were kept in Pinache and also in Serres. From 1705 in French and from 1823 in German.

    Worth seeing is the Waldensian church in Pinache. It is the oldest and largest solidly built Waldensian church in Germany. In 1702 a wooden church was initially built by the religious refugees. However, this was soon threatened with collapse, so that the pastor at the time, Jean Giraud, asked Duke Eberhard Ludwig of Württemberg for financial support.
    The construction of the massive church was made possible by collections, especially in the reformed countries, England, Holland and Switzerland. In 1721 the church was completed and consecrated.
