Christuskirche, one of Windhoek's most prominent landmarks, stands proudly on a traffic island in the city center, symbolizing the city's architectural heritage. Built in 1907 from local sandstone, the church was designed by German architect Gottlieb Redecker, blending neo-Gothic and art nouveau styles in an unexpected yet charming way. Its whimsical, almost edible appearance evokes the look of a gingerbread house. Inside, the altarpiece, a depiction of the Resurrection of Lazarus, is a replica of the famous work by Rubens, adding a touch of artistic history to this unique building.

Cute little church in the middle of Windhoek. Reminds me of small church sim Germany

Unfortunately the building is not open on alternative week days so we could not enter on a Wednesday. Very neat and well maintained. The site is a tourist trap and the pushy informal vendors will be happy to fleece you. It is located adjacent to the Independence museum and a rather sorry looking National museum of Namibia.

Interesting place in the middle of the centre of Windhoek. Not open to public. Museum is just opposite but check before if you really want to visit.
