  The Christus church is a Historic place in Windhoek. Which is one of the most beautiful places in Windhoek. It is not that big, but very meaningfull. Many of the parts build in this Church come from Europe. Like the lead glass in the church which is by the way very beautifull and quite colourfull was a gift from Emperor Whilem II. This place can easyly be found because it is in the middle of a traffic Island on the Robert Mugabe Avenue, opposite of the Tintenpalast.
