Johanneskirche, Harmannstein, Catholic chapel in Großschönau, Austria
The Johanneskirche stands at an elevation of 839 meters on the densely forested peak of Johannisberg mountain in Lower Austria.
The church was constructed between 1150 and 1160 as a castle chapel for Hadmar II von Kuenring's fortress, with first written records dating from 1162.
The high altar, created around 1727 by a carpenter from Groß-Gerungs, depicts the baptism of Jesus by Saint John the Baptist.
Visitors can obtain the church key from the Zeilinger family at the last farmhouse before the church, located at Harmannstein number 9.
Late Gothic frescoes in the chancel depict the Heavenly Jerusalem of the Apocalypse and Saint Christopher threatened by a red scorpion.
