Also named St. John on the Stone, it is mentioned as early
as 1309 in the foundation document of Count Henry VII. At
the same time as Neumόnster Abbey, a new church is set up
in 1606, whose present shape, however, dates from 1688 to
1705. The Renaissance portal, the rich Baroque interior,
the organ constructed in 1710 and the Black Madonna are
all remarkable. Supposed to work miracles in emergencies,
this picture of the black blessed virgin is a creation of
the Parler School of Cologne in the 14th century.
