The church's origins likely date back to the Middle Ages, although its current appearance is largely influenced by later renovations and new construction. Particularly notable is the imposing church tower, which is visible from afar and serves as a landmark.

Over the centuries, St. John's Church has undergone various changes, reflecting the respective architectural styles of the eras. Inside, the church houses a rich collection of furnishings, including remarkable altars, pulpits, and works of art that testify to the church's long and rich history.

A royal court in Bad Rodach is documented in 899. This probably included a chapel dedicated to John the Baptist. The first church was built in 1138 and consecrated in 1149 by Bishop Wigbert of Brandenburg. The existence of a parish church with branch churches was mentioned in a document from 1350. The new church was approved by Duke William III of Saxony in 1457 and was built in 1471 and probably took at least twenty years. The church tower and choir date from this period.
