St. Johannes Baptist
Jena, DE
The church of St John the Baptist was built in the 9th century. The church was originally a Romanesque hall church with a rectangular choir and a semi-circular apse. The first extension of the church was made in the 13th century to the north of the choir as a sacristy building. In 1903, the church was enlarged and westernised: a transept and a neo-Gothic choir were added to the west and the old choir to the east was transformed into an entrance. In addition, a tower was added to the old choir in the east.
