    The impressive parish church of St. Johannes Baptist is the most significant building in Schwaney and belongs to the great village churches of this landscape.
    The neo-Gothic basilica, whose master builder was Lambert von Fisenne, has its original interior and beautiful stained-glass windows with biblical motifs.

    The parish church of St. Johannes Baptist in Schwaney is a listed building. The basilica made of sandstone blocks was built from 1896 to 1898 in neo-Gothic style and the beautiful church tower with its pointed roof can be seen from afar.

    The large neo-Gothic sandstone basilica was consecrated in 1898. Three years earlier, the previous building had been destroyed in a major fire.
    The side windows show the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. They were donated by Agatha Rustemeier in 1912. She is depicted herself in one of the pictures.
    There is an almost identical church in Körbecke.
