The Lukaskirche is a Protestant church in the east of Leipzig in the center of the Volkmarsdorf district. The 71 meter high tower, crowned with a pointed helmet, is the landmark of the district that can be seen from afar. The old Lutheran St. Trinity Congregation Leipzig of the SELK has been using the sacred building since 2015.

In 1891 the foundation stone was laid and in 1893 the church was consecrated. It is built in the style of historicism.
