The Christuskirche in Arnsberg is more than just a place of worship. In winter, when snow transforms the landscape into a fairytale setting, the neo-Gothic architecture of the Christuskirche rises majestically on the highest point between the Möhne and Ruhr rivers. The quarrystone building with its slate-covered roof tells the story of a congregation that grew so much at the end of the 19th century that it became necessary to extend the church with an extended nave and a side gallery. The three choir room windows, which depict the resurrection of Jesus and gave the church its name, are particularly impressive.
After an exterior renovation in the 1990s, the parish is now planning an interior renovation that will combine the historic ambience of the church with modern accents. For those who love the silence and sacred aura of the cold season, the Christuskirche offers a perfect retreat to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and marvel at the unique window artwork at events held on request.
A special attraction of the Christuskirche lies in its combination of history and spirituality, which is particularly noticeable in the clear winter air. The Christuskirche invites you to pause and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, which only really comes into its own in the cold of a clear winter's day.
