Church and History in Kleinholzhausen

St. John the Baptist is a Catholic church in Kleinholzhausen. The building is a Baroque hall church with a western roof turret. The church is attributed to Abraham Millauer and dated to the years 1732 to 1735. Subsurface early modern findings have been documented in the area of the branch church. Visitors interested in cultural history can view the Baroque architectural style and the early modern findings as distinct aspects of the site. A hall church has a single, continuous main space; a roof turret is a tower structure on the roof. At St. John the Baptist, this roof turret is located on the west side. This makes it possible to distinguish the building’s form from its roof feature when considering its history.
