Jesuit Church
Jesuitenkirche
A baroque Catholic church in the old town center, with a bright, tall white nave and a treasury of religious art.
The Jesuit Church was built between 1712 and 1759 on the east side of University Square. Its red sandstone façade contrasts with the bright white hall-style interior, making it one of Heidelberg's most important baroque buildings. The church has an elaborate altar and pulpit, and the attached Treasury of Religious Art displays liturgical objects and relics. Entry is free; keep quiet during services. It can be visited on foot together with the old university and the Student Prison.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–18:00 (no visits during services)
