Johanniskirche, Romanesque church near Rhine River in Niederlahnstein, Germany
The Johanniskirche stands near the confluence of the Lahn and Rhine rivers, featuring a four-bay pillar basilica construction with white-red exterior plaster.
The church structure originated from a Roman fort built in 369 AD, which Frankish nobles later transformed into a residential stronghold with religious purposes.
The interior contains a late Romanesque baptismal font from its inception period and an altar area created by sculptor Hubert Elsässer in modern times.
Located at the intersection of major waterways, the church underwent multiple restoration phases between 1940 and 2005 following flood damage in 1993 and 1995.
The structure holds the distinction of being the oldest gallery church in the Middle Rhine region, with its original sections constructed between 1130 and 1136.
