    St. Johannes Baptista is the oldest building in the Floß market that survived the great market fire on February 23, 1813. The year 1503 on the south-east corner pillar of the church indicates the year of construction of the chancel. The ribbed vault in the chancel and the baptismal font made of local granite date from the late Gothic period. The ceiling of the nave (from 1781-83) is adorned with magnificent floral ornaments. They are designed to give a taste of the joys of heaven.
    In 1788 the richly decorated high altar came into the church. It shows the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. From 1654 to 1913 the church was used jointly by Protestants and Catholics, today it is Protestant. The tabernacle on the high altar reminds of the time of the Simultaneum to this day.
    St. Johannes Baptista is on Route 8 of the Simultankirchen-Radweg.
