Christ Church (Christuskirche) is a landmark Lutheran church in Windhoek, consecrated in 1910 and built from local sandstone. Its neo-Gothic design features a tall spire, pointed arches, and a striking rose window. Inside, the stained glass windows depict scenes from the life of Christ and were a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II. The church sits on a hilltop, making it visible from many parts of the city. It remains an active place of worship and a popular symbol of Windhoek's German colonial heritage.
