Friedrichswerdersche Kirche
The Friedrichswerdersche Kirche was built between 1824 and 1831 and is Germany’s first neo-Gothic church, designed by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, one of his most celebrated architectural works.
The interior of this red-hued cathedral is grand and magnificent, truly breathtaking. Today, the church is part of the Berlin National Museums complex, housing the collection of 18th-century to mid-19th-century German sculptures from the Alte Nationalgalerie. The sculptures spread throughout the church create the serene charm of a peaceful landscape, a delight to the eyes. Among the many pieces, the most eye-catching is the marble sculpture — the Prussian Princess, carved by the Prussian sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow.
