Johanneskirche, Protestant church in Industriequartier district, Zürich, Switzerland

The Johanneskirche is a three-aisled gallery basilica with a transept, built 1897–1898 by Basel architect Paul Reber in German Renaissance style. It stands at the corner of Limmatstrasse and Ackerstrasse, surrounded by a low wall and hedges. Three stair towers have hood roofs; the fourth, right of the main facade, serves as clock and bell tower with a copper spire. The interior has encircling galleries on composite capitals and a painted wooden ceiling.

The Johanneskirche was built in 1897–1898 by the Basel architect Paul Reber in the German Renaissance style, as the Industriequartier grew from 1875 with housing to the east and industry to the west. In 1930 the Limmathaus was added; a 1938 exterior renovation by Fierz and Helbling removed some gables and decorations and moved the main entrance from the long side to Limmatstrasse. Alfred Esposito restored the facades in 1983.

The church is a reformed place of worship; its name refers to John the Baptist. The organ, built in 1898 by Carl Theodor Kuhn of Männedorf, was rebuilt in 2011 by Orgelbau Füglister and now has 38 stops on three manuals and pedal. Its case bears the Latin inscription SOLI DEO GLORIA.

The church is open to visitors and provides direct access to the musical spaces and instruments within. Check in advance when concerts or events are scheduled, as this may affect regular visiting times.

The organ case carries the Latin inscription SOLI DEO GLORIA. Behind it, a hand-cranked bellows mechanism with a flywheel and gearing survives from the 1898 Kuhn organ; the instrument was rebuilt in 2011 with 38 stops on three manuals and pedal.
