Christuskirche

Always a beauty but not available for tours like it used to be back in the day. Been here 4 times since I often visit Namibia.

Beautiful old building. Very clean and well-kept gardens. Especially beautiful at sunset when the sun reflects off the stone walls. It's definitely worth a visit to take some nice pictures or to join a tour of the property, where very insightful information and history are shared with tourists. The Church is not open for tours every day, so be sure to double-check if you want to visit specific to attemd the tour.

Very nice bit unfortunately we went twice and it's always close....

Nice church from outside but I was never able to go inside. I came many times to visit and it was always closed despite people/guide around telling me it will open following day...

Christuskirche is one of the most iconic landmarks of Windhoek, standing proudly in the heart of the city. Built in the early 20th century during the German colonial period, the church’s architecture is a striking blend of Gothic and Neo-Romanesque elements. Its reddish sandstone walls, white decorative details, and tall pointed steeple make it impossible to miss for anyone visiting the capital. More than just a religious site, Christuskirche reflects the multicultural history of Windhoek. Its central location, surrounded by the Parliament Gardens and government buildings, creates a historic square-like atmosphere where visitors often gather to admire the scenery, take photos, and learn about Namibia’s past. Inside, the church offers a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere, highlighted by beautiful stained-glass windows and a simple yet elegant interior design. Today, it serves both as a place of worship and as a popular tourist attraction, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Christuskirche is therefore not only a church but also a cultural and historical treasure. With its architectural grace and deep historical significance, it perfectly captures the spirit of Windhoek and remains a must-see for anyone exploring Namibia’s capital.

The place is nice and a fantastic destination for tourists also there is a museum Infront of the church peoples can visit 2 things in 1 scadule. The place is save to walk as well.

Unfortunately the building is not open on alternative week days so we could not enter on a Wednesday. Very neat and well maintained. The site is a tourist trap and the pushy informal vendors will be happy to fleece you. It is located adjacent to the Independence museum and a rather sorry looking National museum of Namibia.

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.
