Perhaps more than any other structure in the city, the Chrituskirche is this city's most recognized sight. Finely maintained, the church is a living "museum" with many different aspects to be studied.

The 100 year old Lutheran Church is stunning historical landmark situated in the heart of Windoek. It's typical European design with a Namibian flair, was established by a German architect. This beautiful church is often used for weddings and a must see for tourists. Conveniently situated opposite the Indigenous Parliment Gardens, where one can enjoy a stroll in the park... More

Very nice ambience, ideal for weddings, symphony concerts etc. Had a peaceful experience there. Would recommend it to couples if they want to have a romantic background for their special day.

Just an average church in my opinion, nothing like churches in Europe. An easy visit if you are near the city center. Local crafts on side walk directly across the street.

the old man being there doesn`t say much and expects a tip. I would propose that a knowledgable person be there that can give more information on the history of the church. There are tourist passing by with out a guide saying they will surely appreciate more inter action.
