    The fortified church of St. Johannis in Burgbernheim dates back to the 15th century and was built at a time when it was common to design churches not only as religious but also as military protective structures. The church served the citizens of Burgbernheim as a place of refuge in times of war and danger. Its robust construction and the integration of defensive elements reflect the need to defend against attacks.

        Part of the old fortified church in Burgbernheim…. A drawbridge used to secure the complex.
