Saint John the Baptist (also John the Baptist), to whom this Gimborn church is dedicated, is—like Saint Joseph—a man on the threshold between the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of the Incarnation through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who, in her old age, will give birth to a son, John the Baptist. He is six months older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/precursor. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sin to the Jewish population, and baptizes them in the Jordan River. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, where he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who descends upon him from heaven.

The feast day of John the Baptist (Baptist) in the calendar of saints is June 24, exactly six months before Christmas Eve.

The Catholic Church of St. Johann Baptist is a listed three-aisled neo-Gothic hall church. Its origin goes back to the castle chapel of Gimborn Castle.

Beautiful church that was built in the second half of the 19th century on the site of the old Romanesque castle chapel. Well-tended graves in the adjacent cemetery.
