Discover Johannesberg
Accommodation in Johannesberg
Johannesberg combines a varied landscape with a striking Baroque landmark. Fields, meadows, fruit trees, springs, streams and forests define the municipality and its districts; the parish church adds its own cultural accent. When planning, you can weigh up nature, architectural history and hiking ideas.
Baroque Church and Rare Patronage
Built in 1769, the Baroque church of “The Beheading of Saint John” is visible from a distance and serves as a landmark for visitors. Its patronage, “The Beheading of Saint John,” is also distinctive: it is considered rare. The construction date, Baroque style and patronage give the local parish church a clear profile.
