the massive and defiant character of the church and the stocky tower dominate the place.

Saint John the Baptist (also John the Baptist), to whom this church is dedicated, is – like Saint Joseph – a man on the threshold between the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of the Incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who, in her old age, will give birth to a son, John the Baptist. John the Baptist is six months older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sin to the Jewish population, and baptizes them in the Jordan River. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, where he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who descends upon him from heaven.
The feast day of Saint John the Baptist (Baptist) in the calendar of saints is June 24, exactly six months before Christmas Eve.

The hall church was built in 1505 from unplastered bricks.
