St. Johanniskirche
St. Johannis Church Flensburg – Oldest Church of the Harbour City
The St. Johannis Church in Flensburg is one of the oldest churches in the city and is located in the historic Johannis Quarter at Johanniskirchhof. Construction of the church began around 1200. This makes it a significant testament to the medieval history of the city and Brick Gothic architecture in Flensburg.
Especially worth seeing is the historic interior with its Gothic ribbed vault, which was created around 1500 and is adorned with colorful depictions of biblical stories. The church thereby provides an impressive insight into the medieval sacred architecture of Northern Germany.
The St. Johannis Church is situated in the heart of the Johannis Quarter, one of the oldest settlement cores of Flensburg. Historical structures and buildings have been preserved around the church, shaping the unique character of this district.
As part of the historic Flensburg church landscape, the St. Johannis Church connects history, architecture, art, and culture, making it a worthwhile destination for a stroll through the old town.
