This church looks very impressive from the outside, what with dominating the market square. I could only get a brief glimpse of the inside: there was a church event for families going on, and (understandably) photos weren’t allowed. Tourists could stand in the entrance and look in at the main area. I didn’t think the inside was very remarkable.

We were having lunch at Hotel Ritter and the Church of the Holy Ghost was a stone’s throw away. The church is the largest one in historic Heidelberg. Not as impressive as others we seen across Europe. Although, it does deserve a quick look-see. We thought the ceilings cross beams to be beautiful. There is a large organ and some of the stained glass is unique. Unfortunately, the original stained glass was destroyed in the fire of 1693. More stained glass was destroyed in WW. II, 1945. Historically, a Catholic church which began in the late 14th century. Since then, the church has changed hands 10 times. Today it is Protestant since 1936.

During my trip to the charming town of Heidelberg, I visited this beautiful church. Being a predominantly Protestant church both the outside and the inside are not very decorated but the beauty of the naves and the colorful stained glass windows amply compensate for this gap. During my visit, I was able to access the top and the view from the roofs of the church was beautiful. Finally, before leaving, I stopped near the organ with many majestic reeds. It's a shame we couldn’t hear its sound.

Overall a quick walk through an impressive church. A tour group was a bit rowdy while there but there is plenty to see. The architecture of old churches always amazes me. The exterior is impressive and it is located in the main square.

Our guide pointed out the doors on this church and told us Martin Luther had nailed his thesis to this door as well as one in Wittenberg. It’s beautiful inside. Along one of the sides outside there are stalls and people selling souvenirs too. We chatted with a couple of them before going inside. Very beautiful and old, this was not damaged in WW2.

This large church dominates the market square in Heidelberg and is very impressive externally. Internally, it was very simple and plain but as a result felt really peaceful to me. The stained glass windows are about the only decoration but are fascinating, particularly the ultra-modern ones on the left as you go in, and there is a memorial window to the very end of WWII in August 1945.
