Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, Lutheran church in Old City, Jerusalem
The Church of the Redeemer features a 40-meter bell tower, offering panoramic views of Jerusalem's historic quarters and religious landmarks.
German Emperor Wilhelm II inaugurated this neo-Romanesque church in 1898, built on the remains of a 12th-century Crusader church named Santa Maria Latina.
The Protestant simplicity of the church interior contrasts with its delicate stained glass windows, created by a Jewish artist following Lutheran traditions.
The church opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00, with access to the bell tower available for a small entrance fee.
The church bells ring across the Christian Quarter while classical and liturgical music concerts take place inside due to the building's excellent acoustics.
