St. Martin's Church

The Margrethausen Monastery is a former Franciscan monastery founded in 1338 by the local lord Conrad von Tierberg. During the Thirty Years' War, the village and the monastery church were largely destroyed. The monastery church was rebuilt as early as 1707 and the consecration of the new monastery building took place in 1723, so that monastic life could continue. The monastery was dissolved in 1811 and the monastery buildings were then used as a school, teachers' residence and for local administration. Of the four former wings of the monastery, only the east wing, which directly adjoins the parish church, remains today.

The Balingen Cemetery Church was built in the 11th century and was originally the parish church of the village. In the 14th century, the church was demolished and the church that still exists today was built. Parts of the previous Romanesque building have been preserved in the tower and the nave. In 1912 the cemetery church was renovated. It revealed frescoes that the Brotherhood of San Sebastian had painted in the choir of the church.

The Protestant church in the town of Balingen was built as a late Gothic church as an extension of the St. Nicholas' Chapel, first mentioned in the 14th century. It is said to have been raised to the status of a parish church around 1516. In 1760, the church tower was fitted with a sundial by Philipp Matthäus Hahn, and the great city fire of 1809 also affected the interior of the church. In 1861-62, all the keystones were repainted, as well as the paintings from 1613.
