History and architecture

A previous building, the castle chapel , was probably in the 14th century. The Johannes chapel was located "by the castle". It was first mentioned in a document in 1424. It was parish off in 1756 from the mother church of Wiedenest .

The plastered barrel vaulted quarry stone hall was built at the end of the 17th century. The drafted choir closes on three sides .
