Hiking

Since June 26, 1746, St. John's Church, built in the Margravial style over more than four years, has shaped the town center of Wirsberg in its current form. The sacristy, designed in the Gothic style, forms a contrast to the baroque exterior of the Evangelical Lutheran parish church. A special feature is the oil painting "The Throne of Grace" from 1539, whose style and coloring are reminiscent of the circle of the artist Lucas Cranach. Underneath the current church are the foundations of medieval predecessor churches.

Above the decorated entrance portal with the year 1743, the start of construction, the margravial coat of arms with the name of margrave Friedrich is emblazoned. Margravine Wilhelmine was personally present at the inauguration on 26.06.1746
