Neukirchen (German pronunciation: [nɔʏˈkɪʁçn̩] ⓘ) is a small town in the Schwalm-Eder district in Hesse, Germany.

About 1350, the two-aisled symmetrical hall and the three lower floors of the tower were built onto the choir, as it was at this time that "Nuwenkirchen", as it was then called, was granted town rights.

The church is a plain hall whose ceiling rests on a beam laid lengthwise on a mighty oaken column.

Hauptschwenda lies at an elevation of 500 m, making it the highest parish in the church district of Ziegenhain.

In 1506, Hauptschwenda was mentioned as a pilgrimage place with its Annenquelle (spring, and now called Lindenborn) that could work wonders.

Worth seeing inside are some wall paintings from the 16th century that have been renovated over a long period of time and an organ from 2003.
