The village 'Snupinga' was first mentioned on 25 May 1226 in a document. The church dates back to the 15th century to the Gothic age, but was baroqueized by Anton Kogler in the 17th century. The altar of 1690 shows the Blessed Mother flanked by the patron saint John and Isener ancestress Juliana. Source: isen.de and wikipedia.org

Saint John the Baptist (also John the Baptist), to whom this church in Isen 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'.
