architecture
Exterior construction
The oldest part of St. John's Church, in the middle of the old cemetery above the village, is the bell tower from the 13th century. The late Gothic nave and the choir were built around 1480. The west tower shows an octahedral pointed helmet and four small side helmets, which are adorned with lead crabs and lead finials . The church building consists of a hall-like nave with a flat ceiling and a small choir. A sacristy is attached to it. The square choir and the sacristy are vaulted with an eight-sided pointed helmet.
inner space
In the northern part of the nave there is still a window with stained glass from the time the nave was built. This window was donated by Konrad von Bolanden, Lord of Bischofstein Castle . The remaining windows date from 1847/48. In the east nave there are two baroque side altars . The main altar is from the renovation period of 1847/48. The late Gothic wooden sculptures of St. John , a Pietà and a crucifix are very valuable.
