The Ludwigskirche forms a nice ensemble with the rest of the square. Combined with the nearby castle this is the city's main cultural-historical attraction. Protestant baroque is a quite unique style, somptuous but not as lavish as catholic baroque.

This is a very beautiful church, especially at night. I could just stare at it! And the bells played a Christmas chime.

Looks very Baroc style from outside, inside all in creamy white. Quite special. Certainly it is a must to visit in Saarbrücken.

This is an evangelical Church built in the old town (Altstadt) of the city. Some of the reconstructions done after World War II still can be seen in the outside. From the inside remains a mix between the sober decoration of the protestants and the elegance of the pre-reform church buildings

Great place to see the history and enjoy in silence. I really loved the statues and the interior. Exterior is also beautiful, the church itself is amazing :)

Lovely gem in Alt-Saarbrücken. I've never seen a church like it. Beautiful inside and out and is really a highlight in Saarbrücken.

This building looks great from the outside. We took lots of pictures of the building and the square. Inside thought is very austere, with its stark white walls and little ornamentation..

Inside, the church is taken all-white. Interessting not only for it's interier, it's part of the baroque ensamble of Saarbrucken, built by the father and son architects Stengel. The buildings around the place are alos part of this ensamble, noe used by the state officials of Saarland, then they was palaces, and the Baroque Palace of Saarbrucken (placed over the medieval Burg of Saarbrucken, with it's garden and th Old Bridge of the Saar river) and this Ludwigskirche are two poles of the Stengel's ensemble.
Worth a visit!
