St. Johannes Baptista, Catholic parish church in Altenkessel, Saarbrücken, Germany.
The church exhibits Gothic Revival architecture with a three-nave basilica layout, featuring a prominent tower topped by a spire and divided into four sections.
Built between 1902 and 1903 according to Wilhelm Hector's plans, the church underwent restorations after World War II damage and ground subsidence issues.
The church contains detailed depictions of Church Fathers Jerome, Ambrose, Augustine, and Gregory on its pulpit, along with the preserved original Marian altar.
The crypt beneath the sacristy was transformed into a weekday church in 2000, providing additional space for regular religious services.
Three windows in the choir section display scenes from John the Baptist's life, while an outdoor Lourdes grotto offers a separate prayer space.
