St John the Baptist stands beside the abbey and anchors Walsrode's older centre. The present church was built in the mid-19th century, replacing earlier religious buildings tied to the convent.
It is a short stop, but a sensible one if you are already exploring the abbey precinct. The church and convent together give Walsrode a bit of historical depth before the itinerary turns to birds, heathland, and family parks.
