Berlin Cathedral

Berliner Dom, Berlin Cathedral
Germany, Berlin
Berlin Cathedral is the main Protestant church in the German capital, located on Museum Island, near Lustgarten Park. The Berlin Cathedral was built in the Baroque style by the architect J. Raschdorf in 1894–1905. as the court church of the ruling Hohenzollern dynasty. During the bombing of Berlin during World War II, it suffered a lot, then it took a long time to reconstruct and was again opened to parishioners in 1993. Before the war, it reached a height of 114 m, but after restoration, its height was reduced to 98 m. The following are open to visitors: an observation deck under the dome, a small museum of the history of the cathedral and a crypt with the burial places of Prussian kings. It is also worth noting the bright and beautiful interior of the cathedral, its beautiful stained-glass windows, mosaics, the surviving altar and the wonderful organ by the master Sauer.

This beautiful baroque building, 98 meters high, is the largest evangelical church in Germany. The cathedral is located on the museum island of Berlin. The cathedral inside is richly decorated with mosaics, stained-glass windows and gilded icons from the best Prussian masters, as it was used as a court church of the ruling Hohenzollern dynasty. A small museum is open for visitors, as well as a crypt of the dynasty with the sarcophagus of the elector and his wife. If you climb the numerous passages and stairs to the very top - from the equipped observation deck under the dome of the church you will see a panorama of the surroundings of Berlin.
