The parish church of St. Johannes Baptist is located in the middle of the old town of Rietberg. The originally late Gothic hall building was modified in the 19th century. The tower with its beautiful, curved dome dominates the cityscape with aplomb. Inside, the good baroque furnishings and the late Gothic baptismal font from 1515 are worth seeing. I found the church open in the entrance area. There is a stone mortuary lamp from the early 18th century on the church square.

The parish church looks very beautiful and is a very nice place to retreat and reflect.
