The church was built on the site of the previous building and consecrated in 1872. It is built in the neo-Gothic style. Pulpit on the south side with the unique representation of the apparition of Mary from La Salette. Many expressive figures of saints and paintings, mostly the work of local artists, adorn the church. More on this in the church guide.

The church patron is Saint John the Baptist, depicted in the high altar and as a statue on the right in the chancel. The font resting on four lions was donated in 1867 by Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria. Organ by Josef Zeilhuber from 1936/37 with 52 registers.

Saint John the Baptist (also John the Baptist), to whom this church in Bad Hindelang 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 Saint John the Baptist (Baptist) in the calendar of saints is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.
