church of the holy ghost
One of the few buildings in Heidelberg to survive the many wars during the past centuries, the Church of the Holy Ghost stands reverently in the Marktplatz.

The construction of the Church of the Jesuit's began in 1712, and was built in several phases, the last one adding the tower from 1866 - 1872.

providence church
As well as having the church built between 1659 and 1661, Prince Elector Karl Ludwig also gave it its name, which means “God will ensure.”
