St. Johannes der Täufer

St. Johannes der Täufer stands near Bundesstrasse 64 with its rectangular brick hall and slender western tower reflecting early Gothic architectural elements.

The chapel's history dates to 1695 on the Affhuppen estate, followed by construction of a Baroque chapel in 1710 dedicated to the Mother of God.

The church received its current form between 1854 and 1856 through Maria Katharina's commission, based on designs by architect Emil von Manger.

The interior space now functions as a storage facility for sacred furnishings and furniture belonging to the Diocese of Munster, with restricted public access.

In 1967, after a century of Episcopal See ownership, the chapel was transferred to the parish community of St. Laurentius through an official donation.
