    St. John's Church, Imst
    Neo-Romanesque building with Baroque side altars. St. John's Church, which was probably originally a hospital church, is one of the oldest St. John's churches in Tyrol. It was first documented in 1274, when it was largely destroyed by a rockslide. Only the choir of St. John's Church's Gothic structure remains. The church, remodeled in the Baroque style in the 18th century, burned down in 1822 and was later rebuilt in the Neo-Romanesque style. It was rededicated in 1831 in honor of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist.

      The Johanneskirche, which was probably originally a hospital church, is one of the oldest Johanneskirchen in Tyrol. It was first mentioned in a document as early as 1274, when it was largely destroyed by a rock fall.

        This church was first mentioned in a charter from the foundation in 1304, but was already recorded elsewhere in 1267. Originally, the parish church had a narrower floor plan and octagonal pillars. It was first enlarged in 1350. In 1462, the foundation stone for the new Gothic building was laid. Between 1462 and 1475, the present choir was added. Between 1475 and 1493, the nave was built in its present form with the help of miners. The interior was given a Baroque makeover at the end of the 18th century; the reticulated vaults were removed and the frescoes on the exterior were painted over. The Baroque furnishings were almost completely lost in the great fire, but attempts were made to restore the interior to its Gothic form. In 1899, the tower roof was raised. In 1909 and 1912, the building was re-Gothicized; the west rose window on the façade was exposed and an organ loft was added. There are some remarkable frescoes on the outside of the church.
