St Johannis-Kirche is located in Salzhausen, a village in Niedersachsen about 10 miles west of the town Lüneburg.

The church has a history which goes back over 900 years. There is a suggestion that it occupies a burial mound from the pre Christian era. This is a holy place where generations of worshippers have felt drawn to God. It is the focus of Christian life in the village today. Our church is kept open for private prayer at all times and the churchyard is extensive and beautiful. Whatever your thoughts, your worries or beliefs, we invite you to reflect and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this ancient building.
