Im 14. Jahrhundert als Klosterkirche des Franziskaner-Ordens erbaut. Die dreischiffige Hallenkirche bietet mit ihrem feingliedrigen Giebel ein prägnantes Beispiel der Backstein-Gotik. Nach wechselnden Nutzungen dient die Propsteikirche St. Johann seit 1823 wieder als katholisches Gotteshaus; im Inneren wurde damals ein zweiter Fußboden zum Schutz vor Hochwasser eingezogen.

Built in the 14th century as monastery church of the Franciscan order. With its slender gable, the three-nave hall church is an impressive example of gothic brick architecture. Having changed its use several times, St. Johann has been serving as a Catholic church again since 1823; at that time a second floor was installed as protection against flooding.
