Felsenkirche, an Evangelical Lutheran church, stands prominently on Diamond Hill in Lüderitz. Designed by Albert Bause, it features Victorian architectural influences from the Cape. Construction began in late 1911 and was completed in 1912 with support from private German donors. The church's stained-glass panel above the altar was a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II, while his wife donated the Bible. The church offers stunning views over the town and the surrounding waters.

Stunning historical building in the heart of Lüderitz. Arrived too late to enter, it would have been nice to see it from the inside

The church can be visited between 17:00 and 18:00 and there is a very friendly person available who will answer any questions regarding the history of the church. The lead glass with the pictures is outstanding.

Great view of the Felsenkirche and the bay of Lüderitz. Ideal for sunsets. A bit of a climb but doable.

We loved our visit to this church. Amazing windows!!! Simply stunning. Also, the young man who opens it at 5pm for viewing is a wealth of historical information. If you want to know anything about the history of Luderitz or interesting facts he’s your man! We had a great chat with him and gained lots of knowledge from his remarkable memory.

A wonderful, small church on the shore... A beautiful but "cold" city... Another interesting page of this beautiful country
