St. Johannis, Ansbach, Gothic parish church in Ansbach, Germany

St. Johannis features a three-aisle nave constructed from sandstone, with two towers of different heights marking its northern facade facing the market square.

The parish church received its first official documentation in 1139 when the Bishop of Würzburg granted it to St. Gumbertus, with construction beginning in the early 1400s.

The church serves as a main venue for the Bachwoche Ansbach musical festival, featuring a Rieger organ installed in 1962 and restored by Mühleisen in 1991.

The building maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can explore the Gothic architectural elements, attend services, or participate in guided tours of the structure.

The church crypt contains a collection of bronze, copper, and marble caskets arranged in a hemicycle, serving as the final resting place for margraves and margravines.
