St Johannes Baptist, Catholic church in central Herford, Germany.
The St Johannes Baptist church features both baroque and neo-Romanesque architectural sections, with three naves in its western extension.
The building originated in 1230 as part of the Knights of Malta complex, serving as a spiritual center for Catholics during the Protestant Reformation.
The church holds a collection of religious art, including a 16th-century Pietà from the Osnabrück school and a restored stained glass window.
The church maintains regular worship services and contains a Gustav Steinmann organ from 1969 with 24 registers across two manuals and pedals.
The structure combines two distinct architectural periods, with a baroque eastern section from 1715 and a neo-Romanesque western extension added in 1890.
