A bit smaller than expected but beautiful
A page in the past. A must for those interested in arquitecture this stone-made church.
The Christ Church (or Christuskirche) is a historic landmark and Lutheran church in Windhoek, Namibia, designed by architect Gottlieb Redecker.[1]
The church was built following the warsbetween the Germans and the Khoikhoi, Herero, and Owambo. The foundation stonewas laid on 11 August 1907,[2] while on 16 October 1910 the church was officially dedicated.[3] It was originally known as the Church of Peace.[4]
Christ Church was constructed from quartzsandstone mined from the vicinity of Avis Dam.[1] It has a mixture of neo-Romanesque, Art Nouveau and Gothic revival influences.[4]Its spire is 24 m (79 ft) high.[4]
The Christus church is a Historic place in Windhoek. Which is one of the most beautiful places in Windhoek.
It is not that big, but very meaningfull.
Many of the parts build in this Church come from Europe.
Like the lead glass in the church which is by the way very beautifull and quite colourfull was a gift from Emperor Whilem II.
This place can easyly be found because it is in the middle of a traffic Island on the Robert Mugabe Avenue, opposite of the Tintenpalast.
A beautifull historic Lutheran Church that overlooks the city centre. It's close to the parliament gardens, independence museum, Alte Feste and Botanical Gardens. Well worth a visit.
There is a "caretaker" that can give you a brief history lesson about the church
Beautiful landmark....Can't help take a picture. Next time will stop and make time to admire better.
Each and every year I travel to the other side of the planet. As Austrian winter is cold and dark.
In January 2014 I toured around at Windhoek.
Enjoyed the living community and friendly people.
It's just an okay looking church. I did not think it a great deal as I've seen much more beautiful ones in Europe. But considering there's not much in Windhoek this stands out
Great landmark picture of the city. Always visited by tourists for view.
Nice place with amazing history
Stunning German church on the top of Windhoek hill. It also give a nice view of Windhoek town CBD. You can also walk to other attractions nearby in less than 5 minutes.
The postcard of Windhoek. Beautiful church! From there go to the Independence Memorial Museum, Parliament Gardens or enjoy the Independence Ave shops and restaurants.
