Münster St. Johannes, Gothic parish church in Bad Mergentheim, Germany.

The church features a 50-meter bell tower with an octagonal onion dome, creating a notable silhouette in the cityscape of Bad Mergentheim.

Between 1250 and 1274, the Johanniter Order constructed the early Gothic pillar basilica on the site of a former chapel dedicated to Saint Kilian.

Renaissance paintings decorate the cross-vaulted ceiling of the nave, while wooden sculptures from the 15th and 16th centuries enhance the interior spaces.

The church office at Ledermarkt 12 opens Monday through Friday mornings, with additional afternoon hours on Fridays from 14:00 to 17:00.

Until 1911, a tower watchman and his family lived inside the church tower in a dedicated chamber, maintaining the clocks and ringing the fire bell.
