Johanniskirche

The Johanniskirche stands as a three-nave basilica with a 67-meter-high western tower and measures 42 meters in length and 22 meters in height.

The original Romanesque church burned down in 1397, leading to the construction of a Gothic replacement that incorporated remaining foundation walls and received consecration in 1440.

The church interior contains a carved altar from the 15th century depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ and the life of John the Baptist.

The church maintains regular operations through winter months due to its heating system, allowing year-round access for religious services and community gatherings.

The church bell from 1481 features rare engraved drawings that hold particular significance for art historians studying medieval craftsmanship.
