Church St. Johannis

St. Johannis Church in Schweinfurt

The oldest architectural monument above the north side of Marktplatz. First written mention in the year 1237. The gothic choir was built in the beginning of the 15th century. In the following centuries the church was repeatedly worked on, and so a stylistic mix of different eras is visible.

It has been the most important reformed church since 1542, and it serves as the parish church of the protestant congregation.

The interior furnishings can certainly be called opulent for a protestant church. Particularly worth seeing: The baptismal font with its original painting (1367) and the baroque pulpit (1694). It is one of the most important ecclesiastical architectural monuments between Bamberg and Würzburg.
