St. Mary's Church

The Nikolaikirche is the oldest church in Berlin. It dates from the founding of the city around 1230. The building was remodelled several times to accommodate its Gothic choir in 1380 and its typical hall church naves in 1480. Desacralised since 1938, the church now houses the Stadtmuseum Berlin, a museum about the history of the city. The church is also the venue for events, concerts and readings by the Stadtmuseum.

Berlin Cathedral is a protestant church founded in the 16th century. The present building is a third reconstruction in the neo-Renaissance and neo-Baroque styles dating from between 1894 and 1905. Badly damaged during the Second World War, the exterior of the cathedral was simplified during a renovation completed in 1984 and, until 2002, it was rebuilt inside in keeping with the original. The Hohenzollern Crypt, located beneath the cathedral, is one of the most important dynastic tombs in Europe.

The Parochialkirche is the oldest parish church of the Reformed Community of Berlin, built between 1695 and 1703. The building was initially constructed according to the plans of the architect Johann Arnold Nering, who died on 21 October 1695 before completing his work. Further construction was then supervised by the architect Martin Grünberg. The vault collapsed on itself on 27 September 1698, delaying the work. The inauguration finally took place on 8 July 1703.
