While exploring any European city you will no doubtedly come across a few churches. The Baroque Jesuit Church was a lovely surprise tucked away from the main street with an impressive façade what would give you the impression that the interior would be just as impressive, but there is very little left of the original interior.
Construction of the church began sometime in the early 1700’s. The interior is now painted in white which can give it an antiseptic feeling. Once inside you will find a Pieta and a colorful painting of Pope John Paul II.
I you are walking around, it is definitely worth a few minutes of your time. Leave a Comment Address: Richard-Hauser Platz

The Church of the Jesuits caught my attention because of its lovely Baroque facade. Construction started in 1712 but the tower was added in late 19th century. Only an altar painting is left of the original interior but it is still nice in its white and clean style. There is a peculiar glass window in the facade where candles are lit but where you can also look into the church without entering. Next to it is the little Museum for Ecclesiastical Arts that we never visited. Leave a Comment Address: Schulgasse / Richard Hauser PlatzPhone: 06221 / 16 63 91Directions: Paralell to Hauptstrasse. The church is also visible from the square by the university building (see second photo).

In the mid 17th century, the Lutherans in Heidelberg were not that many. Still, they needed somewhere to go and in 1659-61, the Kurfurst Karl Ludwig therefore had this beautiful church built in what were formerly gardens. It sadly burned down in 1693, as so much of Heidelberg did in the fire during the 17th century wars, but was rebuilt and in 1717 therefore also had its tower built. In the 19th century, the Lutherans and Reformists were united and the parish grew. The interior also changed during this time and became much more light and spacious in Neo-Renaissance style. It reminds me a lot of the cathedral in Gothenburg but without its bricks. Leave a Comment

I was shocked how close a church and a sex shop are together in Heidelberg, it felt more like being in Amsterdam than where I was ;-) Leave a Comment Address: Schulgasse, Old Town

Located right in the heart of the old town, the Church of the Holy Spirit is one of the most prominent landmarks in the city, perhaps second only to the castle. Construction of the church began in 1398, though it was built in stages and was not completed until quite a long time after that. Tthe chancel was not completed until 1410, followed by the nave in 1441. There was also a delay in the construction of the church tower, which was started again in 1508. The chancel contained the tombs of the Prince Electors of the Palatinate. Most of the memorial tablets were destroyed in 1693. Of the original 54 epitaphs, the only one remaining is that of Prince Elector Ruprecht II (1352-1410).
The church frequently changed its religious denomination over the years and was used at different times by Catholics as well as Protestants. A partition barrier was even erected in 1706 because both denominations wanted to hold services there. For 230 years, the barrier stayed in place until it was removed in 1936. Today, the Church of the Holy Spirit is a Protestant Church. Leave a Comment
