Discover the Sacred Heart of KW

Church of the Cross

The Church of the Holy Cross on the church square stands in the immediate vicinity of the royal hunting lodge of King Frederick William I and thus in the heart of the historic center of Königs Wusterhausen.

It is a neo-Romanesque hall church, originally built from 1697 onwards. The building acquired its present form in 1889.

A sacred landmark nestled beside Prussian royal history, where faith and heritage intertwine.

This architectural jewel reflects centuries of spiritual devotion and community life in Brandenburg’s royal town.

The Ahrend Organ – A North German Masterpiece

The church is particularly impressive thanks to the Ahrend organ, built in 2009. Designed in the style of Arp Schnitger, it is one of the few instruments of this North German organ tradition remaining in Brandenburg.

“A living testament to Baroque organ craftsmanship, revived in the 21st century.”

This exceptional instrument fills the neo-Romanesque hall with resonant beauty, drawing organists and music lovers from across Germany for recitals, services, and sacred concerts.
