St. Johannes Baptist is a Roman Catholic parish church in Rietberg, East Westphalia, in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany . The church belongs to the pastoral association Rietberg-Süd in the Archdiocese of Paderborn .

history

A single-nave parish church already stood in Rietberg in the 15th century. This was struck by lightning on July 24, 1457 and burned down. The new building was started by Count Johann von Rietberg and dragged on for several decades, because a foundation for the vaults of the church can be established for 1516.

In 1654/59 two aisles were added to the church. In 1838 part of the church collapsed. During the time of the reconstruction, the services took place in the neighboring Franciscan monastery. In 1897 the nave collapsed again and had to be rebuilt. But first everything between the choir and the tower was torn down in order to build the main building on more massive foundations.

From 1975 to 1980 the inside of the church was renovated. In particular, the innovations of the Second Vatican Council were implemented. On October 4, 1980, the new altar was consecrated by the auxiliary bishop Paul Nordhues . In 2001 the church was renovated again.

Furnishing

In the church there are figures from the former high altar, Maria and Johannes, which were made around 1720.

The pulpit can be dated to the first half of the 18th century. The font is from 1515.
