St.-Johannis-Kirche

The St.-Johannis-Kirche stands as a pillar basilica with a baroque tower dome designed by court architect Georg Greggenhofer from Eutin in 1778.

Built between 1156 and 1160 under Bishop Gerold, this church represents one of the earliest examples of brick construction in Northern European religious architecture.

The church features a modern organ manufactured by Hermann Eule in 2018, containing 29 stops across two manuals and a pedalboard for musical performances.

Located on Wallstraße 3 in Oldenburg in Holstein, the church maintains regular Sunday services at 10:30 and houses multiple community gatherings throughout the week.

A devastating fire in 1773 destroyed the interior furnishings, leading to a complete baroque renovation while preserving the original Romanesque basilica structure.
