Heilandskirche, Krems

The Heilandskirche features an octagonal dome structure with large windows that fill the interior space with natural light through segmental arch openings.

Construction of this Protestant church began in 1912 following the establishment of a new parish in 1905, made possible by Emperor Franz Joseph's religious freedom grant.

The church represents an early work of German architect Otto Bartning, who later designed more than 100 religious buildings throughout Germany in the 20th century.

The building contains an organ created by Gregor Hradetzky in 1974, which serves as a central element for religious services and musical performances.

The octagonal interior configuration creates exceptional acoustic properties, setting it apart from traditional central church buildings of the early 1900s.
