St. Ludwig's Church, Celle

St. Ludwig ("St Louis") is the main Catholic church in the town of Celle in the German state of Lower Saxony.

The Church of St Ludwig (Ludwigskirche) stands on the western edge of the town centre, outside the historic Altstadt.

The sanctuary is a narrow, only slightly raised extension of the main aisle with flat walls, that is dominated by the tabernacle and a large crucifix, reminiscent of the early Romantic period.

In 1710 a private house outside the town was converted into a chapel, that was placed under the protection of the apostle Peter and Paul and consecrated by Agostino Steffani.

The design of the Church of St Ludwig came from the Lübeck architect Spetzler, the towers were the work of C. W. Hase and the decoration was by Wilhelm Clausing.
