St. Johanniskirche

St. Johanniskirche is a fieldstone church in the Adelby district featuring Romanesque design and solid walls. The building impresses with its sturdy construction and traditional architectural character.

Construction began in 1128, making it the oldest of the three main churches still standing in Flensburg today. Over centuries, the building shaped the city's religious life.

The interior features fifteenth-century Gothic vaults decorated with frescoes painted by artist Peter Lykt. These works of religious art shape the character of the church space today.

The church sits on Richard-Wagner-Straße 51-55 and welcomes visitors during regular opening hours. Plan time to explore the interior decoration and artworks at a comfortable pace.

The 1734 altar displays an oil painting on wood showing the Last Supper. This artwork reflects Lutheran religious influences and remains an overlooked treasure inside the church.
