English Church, Anglican church building in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany
The English Church is an Anglican church building in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe featuring Gothic Revival design with a two-story hall structure and distinctive saddleback slate roof. The roof construction with its characteristic shape gives the structure a recognizable silhouette.
This structure was built from 1861 to 1865 in response to a request from the English community living in the area. Local hoteliers and casino operators provided financial backing for the construction.
The building was originally named Christ Church and now serves as a cultural meeting point where visitors encounter jazz concerts, art shows, and educational events. The space has become integral to how local residents experience arts and culture in their town.
The renovated building includes a modern foyer that connects to the original structure and allows the space to host various events and gatherings. Visitors should expect a blend of contemporary additions and historic architecture when entering.
The organ originally installed here was relocated to Heilig-Kreuz Kirche in 1953 and remains the only surviving 19th-century English organ in the country. Visitors interested in pipe organs can still hear this historic instrument at its current location.
