The parish church in Bad Tatzmannsdorf stands in the heart of the spa town in Burgenland. It is a modern concrete church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and protected as a listed building. The church replaced an earlier 19th-century structure that was pulled down in 1969 to make way for more space.

The building is worth visiting for its clean lines and the craftsmanship inside. Architect Friedrich Mostböck designed the church in 1968, and it was consecrated by Bishop Stephan László. The interior features works by local artists Josef Paulesich and Thomas Resetarits, while the organ was built in 1994 by Wolfgang Bodem. Three bronze bells cast by Perner in 1972 hang in the tower.

Visitors find a bright, square-shaped nave under a deep roof. The altar sits on a raised platform in the northern half, surrounded by seating on three sides. A connecting passage leads to the single-storey parish centre and its small bell tower. The glass walls and warm stone floor give the space a calm, welcoming feel.
