Church of St. John at Burg, Stein am Rhein
The small church of St. John is hardly noticed by many visitors to the town of Stein am Rhein. But the Church of St. John at Burg is a little gem. It is the oldest church in the canton of Schaffhausen. Its origins date back to the end of the late Roman fort, the masonry of which can be viewed at the entrance to the church hill.
Services have been held here for over 1400 years. The building shows that it has been rebuilt and expanded several times. Wall paintings from 1420 have been preserved in the Gothic choir. They were created shortly after the end of the Council of Constance. The three picture cycles show scenes from the Old and New Testaments (the story of creation, the story of John the Baptist and scenes from the life of Jesus).
On the choir wall on the left, the birth vision of the Swedish Princess Birgitta is depicted for the first time since her canonization. The mother of eight children had made a pilgrimage to Bethlehem and witnessed the birth of Jesus there in a vision. Her visions are written down in several books. Birgitta was canonized in Constance on Candlemas 1415.
