Alte Kirche Wupperfeld, Baroque church in Wuppertal, Germany.
The Alte Kirche Wupperfeld is a church building featuring baroque architecture with a distinctive square tower topped by a baroque dome. Inside, the single-nave hall provides spacious seating for the congregation and once contained a major pipe organ.
The church was first built in 1777 as a wooden structure before being developed into a stone building. Following wartime destruction in the 1940s, a major reconstruction project was completed in the early 1950s.
The building served as a cultural hub for the local community, hosting regular concerts and musical performances alongside worship services. Visitors could experience the space as both a spiritual place and an artistic venue.
The building is no longer open for public worship as it was deconsecrated in 2017 and is now privately owned. Check in advance whether interior visits are possible, as the structure is now in private hands.
The church housed a Teschemacher organ, which was one of the largest pipe organs in the entire Rhineland region. This impressive instrument was a defining feature of the building's musical legacy.
