Christuskirche, Lutheran church in Altstadt, Salzburg, Austria
The red brick church features a high steeple, prominent balustrade, and combines Gothic, Romanesque, and Renaissance architectural elements along the Salzach River.
The construction of Christuskirche began in 1863 with contributions from Danish prisoners of war, marking the first Protestant church in Salzburg upon its completion in 1867.
Two paintings in the chancel portray significant Protestant events: the oath of farmers in Schwarzach and the Lutheran expulsion of 1732 from Salzburg.
The church offers Sunday services at 9:30 AM in German and 11:00 AM in English, with accessibility features including a side entrance ramp and hearing loop system.
The building represents the only instance of romantic historicism in Salzburg and incorporates Portland cement, an innovative material for church construction in Austria at that time.
