St. Johannes, Gothic church in Werben, Germany.
The three-nave hall church features a polygonal choir space, high walls of red bricks, and numerous decorated windows from different construction periods.
Founded in 1160 when Markgraf Albrecht der Bär granted the fortress to the Knights Hospitaller, the church underwent major reconstruction phases until its consecration in 1466.
The interior contains a double altar system, combining the Mariä altar from 1430 and the Trinity altar from 1530, representing the transition from Catholic to Lutheran traditions.
The church opens daily from May to September between 10 AM and 4 PM, while winter visits require advance arrangements with the parish office.
The baptismal font from 1488, created by Hamburg craftsman Hermen Bonstede, was specifically designed for complete immersion of infants during baptism ceremonies.
