The path to the Weibertreu castle ruins begins directly behind the church. There is also a good view of Weinsberg in front of the church.

The Protestant Johanneskirche in Weinsberg, a Romanesque basilica built in the early 13th century, is the church of the Protestant parish of Weinsberg. Until the Reformation, the Johanneskirche served not only as a Weinsberg parish church, but was also the main church of the Weinsberg chapter of the Würzburg diocese, first mentioned in 1291. Since the introduction of the Reformation, it has been the main church of the Evangelical church district of Weinsberg of the Württemberg State Church (with an interruption from 1586 to 1710, when there was no church district of Weinsberg), and since January 1, 2020 it has been the main church of the two previous church districts of Weinsberg and Neuenstadt at the Kocher newly formed church district Weinsberg-Neuenstadt (with the two parts Weinsberg and Neuenstadt). The Johanneskirche is a cultural monument of particular importance.
The Johanneskirche is located at Ökolampadiusplatz 1 in the north-west corner of Weinsberg's old town, higher than the other buildings in the old town with the exception of Weinsberg Castle, which in turn rises above the church to the north-west. The churchyard surrounding the church (today's Ökolampadiusplatz), which borders directly on the city wall to the west and north, was used as a cemetery for a long time, from 1617 only for family graves. In 1807 the cemetery was finally closed. A monument erected on the square in 1869 for the Basel reformer Johannes Oekolampadius, who was born in Weinsberg and who had preached at the church, was removed again in 1967 due to weathering and replaced by an inscription on the surrounding wall of the square. In the immediate vicinity of the church, at Oekolampadiusplatz 2, is the former Weinsberg girls' school, built in 1807. The Kirchstaffel, a wide staircase, connects the Oekolampadiusplatz at its southwest corner with the Weinsberger Marktplatz below and to the south. The deanery building of the Weinsberg church district is located on the Kirchstaffel, directly below the Oekolampadiusplatz. Other surviving buildings on the Kirchstaffel have served as a vicarage, town hall, diaconate, Latin school and sacristan over the centuries.
