Johanniterkirche, Medieval church museum in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany.
The Johanniterkirche is a church building in Schwäbisch Hall that now operates as a museum, displaying art from the late medieval and Renaissance periods. Visitors find paintings and sculptures from the Würth Collection within the structure's substantial stone walls.
The building dates to the 12th century and served as a church for centuries before being converted into an art museum in the early 20th century. This transformation allowed major art collections to be preserved and displayed at this historic location.
The church displays works by notable German artists such as Lucas Cranach and Tilman Riemenschneider, which visitors encounter throughout the stone rooms. These works reflect the artistic traditions that shaped the region during the late medieval and Renaissance periods.
The museum is located in the old town and is easily reached on foot, with wheelchair accessible rooms at ground level. Visitors should note that as a former church building, the interior can feel cool at times.
The museum holds a rare work by Hans Holbein the Younger, a 16th-century Madonna portrait commissioned for mayor Jakob Meyer zum Hasen. This masterpiece often goes unnoticed by visitors despite being one of the most important works in the collection.
