German Cathedral

The French cathedral was built in the years 1780-1785 by Carl von Gontard in the Baroque style. The building was constructed at the instigation of Frederick II (1740-1772), who also ordered the construction of the German Cathedral (opposite the French Cathedral) as part of an extensive redevelopment project of the Gendarmenmarkt. Burned down during the Second World War, the French Cathedral was rebuilt in 1978-1983, true to the original exterior and modern interior. Since then, it has housed the Huguenot Museum.

St. Hedwig Cathedral in Berlin is the Episcopal Church of the Archdiocese of Berlin. Built between 1747 and 1773, St. Hedwig's Cathedral is the first Catholic church constructed after the Reformation in Berlin. After the destruction of the rotunda in an air raid during the Second World War, the cathedral was rebuilt from 1952, the interior was redesigned by the architect Hanns Schwippert.

The Friedrichswerder Church is a simultaneous church, which until 1872 hosted the French Lutheran-Evangelical and Reformed services and then the United Church services until the Second World War. Today it is home to the Schinkel-Museum, one of Berlin's state museums. The church was built between 1824 and 1830 by Schinkel. It was the first neo-Gothic church to be built in Berlin.
