    The St. John's Church is a typical village church in Romanesque staggering, consisting of the nave, a retracted choir with a semicircular apse and a western crossbar tower. The 28-meter-high, mighty tower with steep hipped roof was restored in 1958 after a partial collapse two years earlier.
    As part of the project "Glades", the apse recently houses three precious windows by Hubert Spierling (1925-2018 / Krefeld). The artist, who died in 2018, was one of the most important representatives of this genre in Germany and also achieved international fame.

      Between 1705 and 1720 extensive renovation work was carried out on the church, which was caused by the bad condition of the roof. In this context, the church also got larger windows. The contours of some Romanesque windows on the north and south sides are still clearly visible. The interior furnishings also date from the same period. The benches still bear the names of the citizens who were entitled to live there at the time. The magnificent altarpiece from 1718 with the double columns on the sides has the typical division: a pictorial representation of the Last Supper adorns the predella, the Crucifixion the altarpiece and the Resurrection the pediment. The pulpit on a twisted column also has paintings in the fields that are supposed to mean the evangelists and on the pulpit door the apostles Peter and Paul.
