A possibly first provisional church was followed by the construction of the preserved one around 1260. The main altar was consecrated to John the Baptist, the two side altars to Saints Nicholas and Catherine, and in 1389 there were altars to St. Mary and St. James the Elder. Ä. and SS. Cosmas and Damian added. The seat of the Kommende was moved to Frankenberg in 1392; only two or three brothers were to remain in Wiesenfeld. In 1520 the order for an altar crypt was placed with the Franciscans in Meitersdorf (wüst, near Frankenberg). After the abolition by Landgrave Philipp von Hessen in 1527, the church was used as a barn and a landgrave's cellar, for which the vaults were removed and false ceilings were put in. In 1539 and 1546 the property was pledged and later leased as an agricultural property. Attempts to restore the monastery in the 16th and 17th centuries were unsuccessful.
After the arrival of Huguenots in 1721, a “Temple” branch of Louisendorf was built on the edge of the village. Since 1755 the Reformed congregation has been using the fruit soil of the former Johanniterkirche for their services, probably an intermediate floor. During the major interior renovation in 1765, the entire “upper part” of the church was replaced by a carpenter, presumably the wooden ceiling was put in and the roof was rebuilt, for which the sovereign had given nine tree trunks. In 1850 the parish of Wiesenfeld was changed from Louisendorf to Münchhausen (independent since 1952). An inventory by the state curator Ludwig Bickell in 1898 showed that almost all the windows had been walled up and the vaults had been replaced by a flat wooden ceiling. From 1906 to 1908, a reconstructive restoration was carried out according to plans by architect Ludwig Hofmann from Herborn and under the supervision of State Curator Bickell and District Administrator Riesch.

The church and its forecourt are worth seeing and are a good starting point for hikes. An overview of the hiking trails is also available near the church.
