Stadtkirche St. Johannis, Late Gothic church in Neustadt an der Orla, Germany
The Stadtkirche St. Johannis features a three-aisled hall structure with a high roof, polygonal pillars, and a ribbed vault in the choir section.
The construction of this church began in 1470 with the choir and tower, while the old nave was replaced with a new rough stone masonry between 1517 and 1538.
The church houses a significant Cranach altar from 1513, depicting scenes from John the Baptist's life across a five-meter width and seven-meter height structure.
The church contains a restored 18th-century organ with 25 registers across two manuals and pedals, featuring mechanical playing and register mechanisms.
The hexagonal baptismal font from 1494 displays figurative representations of the four evangelists and includes a statue of a boy holding a pretzel.
