St. Johann, Gothic church in Kronberg im Taunus, Germany.
St. Johann is a Gothic church in Kronberg im Taunus featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a light-filled choir. The interior is shaped by detailed paintings and stone work that express the Gothic style.
The church was built in the 1440s under orders from Prince Frank XII. Construction brought conflicts with master mason Stephan Steynmetzen over how the work should be executed.
The ceiling displays cherubs playing music among Renaissance ornaments, while apostle figures decorate the walls. These paintings shape how the interior feels and reflect the artistic care put into the space.
The church is located at Friedrich-Ebert-Str. 18 and welcomes visitors during regular services. Plan your visit to allow time to explore the interior details at a comfortable pace.
Two of the bells in the tower date from 1466 and are among the oldest parts of the building. These original bells were removed during World War II but eventually returned to ring from above.
