    A stone gate leads from Pfarrstraße to St. Johanniskirche, whose Romanesque tower dates back to the 13th century. Inside is a 15th-century double-hinged altar.

                Nice little church near the train station. Most recently from the stamp office for the Harz monastery hiking needle. The stamp box is in the back of the garden.

                        The church, located on the north-western edge of the historic Neustadt, is the oldest surviving church in the city of Wernigerode in terms of its Romanesque structure. The west tower and the south transept have been preserved from the time it was built. The completion is dated to 1279 (altar consecration by Bishop Volrad von Halberstadt).

                        The Romanesque nave of the church was converted into a three-aisled hall church in the 15th century and completed in 1497. In the 19th century, the entire structure was extensively restored, in 1864/65 the south portal porch was renewed, the galleries and the stalls from the Baroque period inside were removed, the windows enlarged and additional dormer windows installed. The local wood sculptor Gustav Kuntzsch created the new furnishings: the ceiling and side aisle cladding, the stalls and the west gallery to accommodate the new organ, with the installation of which the neo-Gothic restoration was completed in 1885.

                        The church was damaged in bombing raids on February 22nd, 1944. In the post-war years, only an emergency repair was initially carried out. Larger measures were taken from 1970, including the opening of the previously walled-up west portal and the renovation of the tower room on the ground floor, which was only connected to the interior of the church in 1992. In 1993 the tower roof was renewed, in 1994 the choir roof parts.

                              A beautiful little church, recently added a special stamp box for the Harz Monastery Hiking Trail. It's located in the back garden.
