Ludwigskirche Bad Dürkheim

Ludwigskirche is a Catholic church in Bad Dürkheim featuring classical architecture with a ridge roof and an eastern bell tower. The tower houses four bronze bells that remain functional elements of the building's design.

Construction took place from 1828 to 1829 following designs by architect Johann Bernhard Spatz. King Ludwig I of Bavaria funded the project, establishing it as an important religious building in the region.

The church is named after King Ludwig I, whose reign shaped 19th century architecture across Bavaria. Visitors can see how this building remains a central gathering place for the local community today.

The interior houses an organ from 2010 with 28 registers, two manuals, and a pedal board with mechanical and electric mechanisms. Take time to observe the acoustics and craftsmanship of this instrument when visiting the interior.

The city's largest bell, Christ König, was cast in 1954 by Andreas Hamm and weighs about 1380 kilograms. This bell-casting achievement shows the skilled craftsmanship of the post-war period.
