Pfarrkirche St. Johannes Baptist

Pfarrkirche St. Johannes Baptist, Abbey church in Baindt, Germany.

Pfarrkirche St. Johannes Baptist is a three-nave basilica with a rectangular choir at the eastern end and a hexagonal turret crowned by an onion dome. The interior features historical ceiling paintings and a stucco marble altar that define its visual character.

Built between 1241 and 1275 as a monastery church for Cistercian nuns, the structure has dominated the settlement since medieval times. It later became a parish church and underwent renovations that shaped its present-day appearance.

The ceiling paintings by Franz Martin Kuen bring the interior to life with regional artistry, created in the 1760s. The high altar features stucco marble work showing the craftsmanship that flourished in this area during that era.

The church functions as a working parish church within the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart and welcomes visitors. A modern organ installed in 2019 supports the musical experience during religious services and occasions.

Early Gothic stained glass windows were uncovered in 1961 after an altarpiece was removed from its location above them. These windows showcase artistic techniques from a much earlier period that had been hidden from view.
