Johanneskirche

The Johanneskirche is a Protestant church building with a three-aisle hall design in the Gothic Revival style. The structure features a slate-covered gable roof and is supported by octagonal pillars that hold cross-ribbed vaults spanning four bays.

The church was built between 1861 and 1865 at the request of Princess Marianne von Oranien-Nassau as a memorial to her son Johann Wilhelm. The construction followed the Gothic Revival style that was widely popular in German architecture during that era.

The church serves the local community for Sunday services and wedding celebrations. The plain interior with its supporting pillars creates a straightforward space for worship and gatherings.

Visits are available during regular opening hours, and guided tours can typically be arranged by request. Visitors should be mindful of the formal nature of the building and dress respectfully.

Two historical memorial trees grow on the grounds: a Luther Linden planted in 1883 and a Melanchthon Oak from 1884. These trees mark important figures from Reformation history and serve as visible reminders of that tradition today.
