Evangelische Christuskirche Walsdorf

Evangelische Christuskirche Walsdorf, Gothic protestant church in Walsdorf, Germany

The Evangelische Christuskirche stands on raised ground in the northern part of Walsdorf, at Knappegasse 2, its churchyard secured by retaining walls. The tower carries a pointed spire with gable dormers. Three portals came from the Hühnerkirche near Limbach, demolished in 1668; the choir is vaulted with a star rib vault on head consoles, while the nave has a wooden barrel vault painted by Veit Graf in 1660.

The church was destroyed by Bavarian soldiers in 1644 during the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt between 1652 and 1663. This reconstruction marked the community's renewal of faith after wartime devastation.

The wooden barrel vault of the nave carries a painted ceiling completed by Veit Graf in 1660, whose imagery draws on Luther's Small Catechism. Baroque paintings on the organ and balconies, uncovered during the 1966–1970 restoration, belong to the same scheme. Three portals from the Hühnerkirche near Limbach, demolished in 1668, were reused here.

The church stands at Knappegasse 2 in the northern part of Walsdorf, on a churchyard raised above the neighbouring buildings and held by retaining walls. The tower has a pointed spire and gable dormers. The former churchyard cemetery was moved to its present site in 1837 for lack of space.

The bell tower holds three bells from different time periods: one from 1716, another from the 18th century, and a third from 1920. This collection demonstrates how the community replaced and maintained its equipment across generations.
