Johanniskirche, Gothic church in Penzenhofen, Germany

The Johanniskirche features a flat ceiling, a gallery, and an altar adorned with the Imhof family coat of arms from 1691.

Built in 1401, the church received its official inauguration as a mass chapel in 1403 under the Diocese of Eichstätt administration.

The church functioned as a student chapel for Altdorf University, hosting more than 1000 theological sermons between 1691 and 1728.

Located at Altenthanner Strasse 3, the church remains an active part of the Evangelical Church Community of Winkelhaid.

The original bell from the early 15th century displays a Latin inscription reading 'Ave Maria gratiae plena Dominus teum'.
