St. Johannes der Täufer, Catholic church in Obergrainau, Germany
The church stands on Kirchbichl hill with an octagonal main room, bell tower featuring an onion dome, and a cemetery in the Bavarian Alps setting.
The first chapel on this site was built in 1697, and after a fire in 1779 destroyed it, Franz Seraph Zwinck from Oberammergau completed its restoration in 1782.
The interior features a Johannes cycle of paintings from 1929, including frescos that integrate biblical scenes within the local mountain landscapes and Lake Eibsee.
The church belongs to the Zugspitze parish association and visitors can contact them at Kirchbichl 682491 Grainau or through their website pv-zugspitze.de.
The building holds dual protection status as both an architectural monument in the Bavarian Heritage List and an archaeological site due to early modern findings.
