The St. Johannis-der-Baptist church is a large, bright church in the classical style, which was built in the years 1848-50 by the consistory master builder Ludwig Hellner and is preserved almost unchanged to this day.

The church in the middle of the village is located on a beautiful square and belongs more or less to the monastery complex.

Saint John the Baptist (also John the Baptist), to whom this church is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist. This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven.
The memorial day of Saint John the Baptist (Baptist) in the calendar of saints is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.
