Stadtkirche Ludwigslust

Stadtkirche Ludwigslust is a Lutheran church in the town of Ludwigslust, built as a brick structure with six Doric columns framing its classical front. Four sandstone statues of the evangelists crown the attic section and give the building its dignified appearance.

Construction took place between 1765 and 1770 under architect Johann Joachim Busch and replaced an earlier church building. This new structure was built to meet the grand ducal expectations and establish the town's architectural standing.

The interior displays a monumental painting of the Annunciation created over decades by two artists whose names are recorded in the church's history. This artwork shapes how visitors experience the sacred space and its spiritual purpose.

Sunday services and holiday celebrations take place on a regular schedule that shifts with the seasons throughout the year. Visitors should check ahead since some winter services may be held in an alternative space.

The building contains decorative elements made from a special papier-mâché material that was produced locally in Ludwigslust. This local craft technique appears in a large wall painting positioned above the altar.
