- The Protestant Church in Rinnthal was consecrated on August 10, 1834. The church building was designed by Leo von Klenze and Daniel Ohlmüller in classical style. An organ was built for the church in 1835-1836 by Georg Geib and Joseph Littlig. The organ case was designed by August Voit. In 1900 the Trompete was replaced with a Gamba 8' by the Gebrüder Huber.
- In 1920, the company Walcker & Cie. built a new pneumatic organ in the old case. This instrument has been preserved unchanged. But it has been out of use since 1970. An electronic organ has been installed in the church.
