St. John's Church, Aachen-Burtscheid

The church displays a central dome structure built over a square foundation, incorporating red brick materials from the Buschhausen quarry.

Originally established in 1017 as a Romanesque monastery church, the current building was constructed between 1730 and 1754 following baroque architectural principles.

The interior features apostle statues placed within niches specifically designed by architect Johann Joseph Couven in the 18th century.

Located at Abteiplatz in Aachen-Mitte, the church continues to serve as a Catholic place of worship within the Diocese of Aachen.

The building bears the coat of arms of Abbess Anna Carolina Margarethe van Renesse van Elderen, who initiated its baroque reconstruction.
