Johanneskirche Oberstenfeld

The Johanneskirche features a three-aisled basilica design with a prominent tower constructed in 1230, displaying traditional Romanesque architectural elements throughout the structure.

Built around 1200, the church contains a crypt from 1025 that served as the burial site for the founders of the noble women's convent in Oberstenfeld.

The church maintains religious services during summer months and houses a nineteenth-century Walcker organ used for concerts in its acoustically refined interior space.

Visitors can access the church from May to October on Sundays and holidays, with guided tours available through coordination with the local caretaker.

The structure incorporates a two-stage choir arrangement and preserves its wooden components by limiting heating during winter months to prevent material degradation.
