Located in Windhoek, Namibia’s capital, the Christ Church is a significant historic landmark originally known as the Church of Peace. The church was designed by architect Gottlieb Redecker, a German engineer in southwest Africa.
The church was built between 1907 and 1910, following deadly wars between German colonizers and Namibians, and was constructed from quartz sandstone extracted from the neighboring Avis Dam.
