Main landmark of Windhoek
May 2017 • Couples
This is probably the best known landmark in Windhoek. It's a nice looking church in the middle of a roundabout. You can park next to the church to visit, or just cross the roundabout and walk there.

Beautiful Church
Jun 2018 • Solo
A very Germanic church close to the Namibian parliament and the museum area of Windhoek. A group of street peddlers sell stuff around the church initially they can be quite intimidating but actually they are quite pleasant and friendly once you start talking with them. The church makes for pleasant photos and the parliament gardens provide a pleasant backdrop. The church can be found at the junction of Robert Mugabe Avenue and Fidel Castro Ruz Street.

Nice church
Feb 2016 • Family
A nice quiet place to visit. The exterior of the church as some interesting architectural features. The inside is more modern and less interesting. Check the stained glass windows.

Windhoek's most outstanding landmark
May 2014 • Family
My grandfather helped to build the Christus Kirche in Windhoek, when I was still a twinkle in my father's eye. 64 Years ago I was baptised in this church. 43 Years ago I got married in this beautiful church. Proudly it still stands on a hill overlooking the centre of town.

Lutheran church
Oct 2020
The build started in 1907, as the church is build on a hill, the church is visible from a long distance.
The church looks (from outside) well maintained (renovated between 1967-72), not able to visit inside.

beautiful church
Mar 2020
A historical site built during the German rule of Namibia, with beautiful stained glass windows and a lovely church to just take some time out to pause and reflect. It's a church that is still operational and they have services on Sunday- but only in German! That aside, lovely part of history.

The church itself is lovely and historic but its locked so what can you say. The signs are not in English so if the church is open at some point for visitors no one would know. Take some pictures and move on.

Lovely church, with a lovely architecture, both outside and inside. It's open during the week until 6 PM, during the weekend I found it closed. There was no one inside when I went, so i had a quiet time taking a few photos and absorbing it's simple beauty.

Old church in the center of the city
Sep 2019 • Couples
If you like history and churches, this is very conveniently located in the main tourist area and you can see what churches were like back in the colonial days. Right next to good museum also
