Ludwigskirche

Tourist attraction Catholic church

👍👍 The St. Ludwig Kuppelkirche is the Catholic main church of Darmstadt, built from 1822 to 1827. The dome rests on an inner wreath of 28 Corinthian columns clad in stucco marble.  Very nice is the circular window in the dome vertex, which illuminates the building with natural light. People often mention church, Kirche, Beautiful, worth, Darmstadt, dome, Pantheon, Sehr, beautiful, nice,

(Original) Die St. Ludwig Kuppelkirche ist die katholische Hauptkirche von Darmstadt, erbaut 1822 bis 1827. Die Kuppel ruht auf einem inneren Kranz von 28 mit Stuckmarmor verkleideten korinthischen Säulen. Sehr schön ist das kreisrunde Fenster im Kuppelscheitel, welches das Gebäude mit Tageslicht erhellt.

    (Translated by Google) The church is, especially from the inside, definitely worth seeing. Georg Moller outdid himself with his Pantheon interpretation. I have not thought of looking at this church from the inside, but I can highly recommend it. (Original) Die Kirche ist, vor Allem von innen, auf jeden Fall sehenswert. Georg Moller hat sich damals mit seiner Pantheon Interpretation selbst übertroffen. Habe lange nicht daran gedacht mir diese Kirche von Innen anzuschauen, aber kann es nun sehr empfehlen.

    The church is centrally located, hence can be reached easily. From the outside, it looks massive with its cylindrical structure and a huge dome. Inside the design is based on the Pantheon in Rome with pillars and a circular opening in the apex of the dome for light to enter. Pillars, the dome, the wall panels with sculptures and the tombs characterize the church. At the back, there is a small lovely garden.

    Very interesting architecture inside. Columns mixed with the stations of the cross mixed with an ocular that allows light to filter through a dove suspension.

    The “round” church in Darmstadt is well worth seeing.

  • 5/5 Petra S. 2 months ago on Google • 49 reviews New
    A beautiful, huge round building. Inside there are floor-to-ceiling pillars all around. The ceiling is dark blue, the side walls are dark red, and the pillars are natural colored. The church has a wonderful “sound”.

    (Translated by Google) A church built in the 1800s, inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. It was named after the first Duke of Hesse to build it with the support of Ludwig. It has been restored by being attached to the original as it gets worn down over the years. Inside you can find an English information booklet and learn the details. (Original) Roma'daki Panteon'dan esin alınarak 1800'lerde yapılmış bir kilise. Hessen'in ilk dükü Ludwig desteği ile yaptırıldığı için onun adını almış. Yıllar boyunca yıkıldıkça yıprandıkça orijinaline bağlı kalınarak restore edilmiş. İçeride İngilizce bilgi kitapçığı bulabilir ve detayları öğrenebilirsiniz.

    (Translated by Google) At the entrance of the church, first very simple. Then look at the columns and finally you see the blue colored dome. Reminds me a lot of the Pantheon from Rome. Very depressing. (Original) Bei Eintritt der Kirche, erst mal sehr schlicht gehalten. Dann schaut auf die Säulen und schließlich sieht man die blaugefärbte Kuppel. Erinnert mich sehr an das Pantheon aus Rom. Sehr beeintruckend.
