The Evangelical Church of St. John is a listed late Gothic church building in Luckenwalde.

The Zinna monastery near Jüterbog, founded in 1170, was the mother church of all church buildings in the area, so it can be assumed that St. Johannis (also spelled St. John) was also founded by the Cistercians. Documentary mentions have not survived. The building, made of irregularly placed field stones, was originally a simple hall church with a retracted choir. The layers of fieldstone walls partially protrude beyond the middle of the windows.

In the second half of the 15th century, the church was rebuilt into a two-aisled hall church with groin vaults, five bays in the nave and a short choir closed on three sides. Red brick in monastery format served as the building material. Four octagonal columns support the vaults.
