context_page_description: Niederlahnstein is a part of the city of Lahnstein in Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany.
context_section_description: The Johanniskirche (English: Church of St. John, named after John the Baptist) was constructed from 1130 to 1136.
  It is the oldest gallery church in the Middle Rhine region. The church building, which is situated directly on a bank of the Rhine, was an important example for the development of church buildings in the Middle Rhine region.
  In 1794, it burned to the ground, and it remained a ruin until 1856, when reconstruction began.  In 1884 another fire caused the tower to collapse.  In 1906, it became a monastery church.
