The High Church is the landmark of Lemgow. It is dedicated to John the Baptist. Its brick tower probably dates from the 15th century, the 14th century apse built of fieldstone; the central part of the church was renewed around 1770. All components follow different styles. The tower and apse are attributed to the Gothic, the central part bears since its renewal baroque features. The organ inside dates from 1856 and was created by Eduard Meyer (1806-1889), Hanover. Adjacent to the church is an approximately two-acre cemetery with mature trees and linden trees.

The Hohe Kirche stands between the villages of Kriwitz, Predöhl and Trabuhn, in the middle of the fields. Only a cemetery and a few trees surround them. The next houses are a good kilometer away. It is believed that this place, in the middle of today's Lemgow, was a place of worship for the Wendish Linons who lived here even before Christianization.
The origins of the church probably go back well into 1300. Today's building is not quite that old. At least the tower is said to be a proud 570 years old.
