Berlin Cathedral

Berlin Cathedral is the monumental Protestant church that anchors the eastern edge of Museum Island beside the Spree. Completed in 1905 in an exuberant High Renaissance and Baroque revival style, it served the Hohenzollern dynasty as a court and dynastic church. Its copper dome, restored after wartime destruction, rises about seventy-five metres and can be climbed for panoramic views across the city centre. Inside, visitors find an ornate marble altar, a large Sauer organ, and the Hohenzollern crypt holding roughly a hundred royal sarcophagi.
