Religious Site Architectural Building

• ©

Located in the city's historic center, Christuskirche represents an example of Gothic Revival architecture, built between 1907 and 1910 and accented with Art Nouveau elements. The church boasts a spire made from quartz sandstone, while part of its roof and three bronze bells were sent from Germany. The stained glass windows, a gift from Emperor Wilhelm II, remain the building's major feature. Christuskirche is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our world travel planner, Windhoek Edition.

  Schöne Kirche, die bei einer Besichtigung von Windhoek nicht fehlen darf. Die Kirche steht auf einem Hügel, welcher zu Fuß sehr gut erreicht werden kann.  more »

  Beautiful church, which is not to be missed during a visit to Windhoek. The church stands on a hill, which can be easily reached on foot.

  特に目立つ特徴はないが、国立博物館が近く街の象徴的な教会ゆえに見ておくと良いと思います。気軽に入れる雰囲気。  more »

  There are no particular features, but it's a good idea to look at the national museum because of the city's iconic church. Feel free to put in the atmosphere.

  Gorgeous! The gentleman that was at the church greeting guests was lovely and fluent in English, Afrikaans and German. Very courteous. The church is magnificent and very well cared for. I was sightseeing alone and felt very comfortable when arriving. The guys guarding the cars and selling there crafts were very helping in directing me to other tourist spots in walking distance.
