Iconic Church in Windhoek 

 

This iconic church in Windhoek, known as the Christuskirche, stands as a magnificent symbol of the city's rich history and architectural beauty. Its striking neo-Romanesque style, with a blend of Art Nouveau elements, immediately captures my attention every time I visit the capital. Completed in 1910 and designed by architect Gottlieb Redecker, this church has become a central landmark in Windhoek. The unique red-tiled roof, stunning stained-glass windows, and commanding presence in the heart of the city make the Christuskirche not only a place of worship but also a testament to the historical and cultural tapestry of Namibia.
