Lonely Planet review for Christuskirche

Windhoek's best-recognised landmark, the German Lutheran Christuskirche, stands on a traffic island at the top of Fidel Castro St. This unusual building, which was constructed from local sandstone, was designed by architect Gottlieb Redecker in conflicting neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau styles. The altarpiece, the Resurrection of Lazarus, is a copy of the renowned work by Rubens. The cornerstone was laid in 1907.

To view the interior, pick up the key during business hours from the nearby church office on Fidel Castro St.
