Ludwigskirche

The Ludwigskirche features a grand dome design inspired by Rome's Pantheon, with clean architectural lines and symmetrical proportions throughout its structure.

Architect Georg Moller completed the construction in 1827, making it the first major Catholic church built in the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt after the Reformation.

The church maintains its status as a Cultural Heritage Monument in Hesse, representing the architectural and religious development of 19th-century Darmstadt.

Located near the Residential Palace, the church welcomes visitors during regular hours and holds religious services, concerts, and community gatherings throughout the year.

After severe damage in 1944, the reconstruction replaced the original wooden dome with a steel framework, adding modern engineering to historical architecture.
