The origin of the original church goes back to the year 1220. The patronage of the church is shown on the high altar: the Savior is baptized by John. Above the dove and the eye of God, symbol of the Holy Spirit. The saints Wendelin, Johannes Nepomuk, Aloisius and Sebastian form a wreath in front of the triune God and invite to silence, to repentance and to confess Christ.

Special feature: In the forecourt there are two church portals from the first church building from the 12th century. The core of the floor plan dates from 1350, the tower from the 17th century. In 1980/81, the church was extended by two side aisles and the whole area around the church was redesigned... The open parish garden behind the rectory with a large chestnut tree invites you to gather strength on hikes!

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 John the Baptist (Baptist) in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.
