Alexanderkirche, Baroque church in Rastatt, Germany
The Alexander Church features a red sandstone facade with four large saint statues and a tower crowned by a lantern with a smaller dome.
The church construction started in 1756 under architect Peter Ernst Rohrer, following foundations laid in 1701, and the consecration took place in 1764.
The church displays statues of Saint Donatus, Karl Borromäus, Anthony of Padua, and Saint Florian, each protecting against different natural calamities.
The church belongs to Saint Alexander Parish, which serves 5,000 Catholic members in Rastatt and remains open during daytime for prayer.
The church organ, built in 1828 by Stieffel brothers, contains 38 registers across three manuals and pedals, operating through an electric-powered bellows system.
