Azania Front Lutheran Church

Red-roofed 1898 German missionary church on the harbour front

The red-roofed Lutheran church on the harbour front, with its distinctive whitewashed Bavarian-style tower, was consecrated in 1898 and is the other landmark left by the German missionary presence. It sits across from the Azania Front, the strip of seafront once used for colonial parades. The church grounds are quiet and shady — a pleasant pause from the heat of the streets.
