Jesuitenkirche

Built between 1712 and 1759 this beautiful, Baroque, Roman Catholic Cathedral is the largest and most important church in Heidelberg and is certainly a must visit while in town. I went to a Jesuit college myself so I have been in and around many Jesuit buildings and this is one of the prettier ones that I’ve ever seen. It’s very unique in that the inside is all alabaster white and really feels like you are in the clouds. It’s quite large on the inside, but not nearly as large as some other ones that you will see in Italy or in Cologne. There was no entry fee, and there were only a few other people inside all of which were there for prayer. We saw one other tourist couple entering as we were exiting so it’s a very quiet and serene place to check out. It’s right in the middle of old town so it’s an easy walk to all the historical sites of Heidelberg. I would honestly recommend for anyone to visit, especially if you are catholic.

Beautiful church with impressive architecture We visited the Jesuit Church of the Holy Spirit and St. Ignatius on August 13th, 2025, and it was an absolutely beautiful experience. The architecture is stunning, with its bright white interior, elegant chandeliers, and intricate details that create a peaceful and uplifting atmosphere. It is also a great place for photography, as you can take your time capturing the beauty of the church without feeling rushed. Another big plus is that entry is completely free, which makes it even more accessible for anyone visiting Heidelberg. If you appreciate architecture, history, or simply want a quiet moment during your trip, this church is a must-see. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really nice old church with plenty of seating and a calming atmosphere. A little out of the way so it is less busy then others. Active church.

This is a beautiful church in Heidelberg. Usually, during the week, the organ player practices different movements and parts from musical pieces. It is mesmerizing to be inside at that time. The acoustics are flawless.

Enjoy the beautiful church and the intricate details of the Saint statues. During mass, the organist played beautifully. Do not miss out on the museum. Inside the church and to the left. The entrance is almost hidden. Go upstairs and enjoy years of history and dedication to the church.

This church is very unique as it is so stark white and modern. Looks like it’s just been painted with “bright white”. The church is big and really quite beautiful in its uniqueness. The organ is impressive and beautiful too. I felt my spirits lifted wandering around here.

The Church of the Jesuits is a very welcoming and interesting church in the heart of the Old Town. They tend to put exhibitions of symbolic nature, and during December for Christmas they placed one of my all time favorite Krippen ever. The thought, symbolism and skill putting this great piece of art left me stunned. I am so grateful to have visited this Church and would love to see such exhibitions again. The altar and the orgel are also incredibly beautiful. Everything is so clean and calm that you feel in a very comfortable atmosphere.
