The Französischer Dom, also known as the French Cathedral, is an impressive architectural gem located on Gendarmenmarkt square in the heart of Berlin. It is one of three significant buildings that grace this picturesque square, along with the German Cathedral and the Konzerthaus. The Französischer Dom was built in the 18th century as a Huguenot church, serving as a place of worship for the French-speaking Protestant community in Berlin. The cathedral's design is a testament to the elegant and symmetrical style of the era, with its impressive dome, grand facade, and intricate details. Today, the cathedral stands as a prominent landmark and a cultural center in Berlin. Its interior features stunning frescoes, beautiful stained glass windows, and a graceful spiral staircase that leads to an observation platform offering panoramic views of the city. In addition to its architectural beauty, the Französischer Dom is also home to the Huguenot Museum, which provides insights into the history and culture of the Huguenot community in Berlin. The museum's exhibits showcase artifacts, documents, and stories that highlight the struggles and contributions of this influential community. The cathedral's location on Gendarmenmarkt square adds to its allure. The square itself is regarded as one of the most beautiful in Berlin, surrounded by neoclassical buildings and adorned with a central statue of German poet Friedrich Schiller. The Französischer Dom's presence contributes to the square's harmonious and captivating atmosphere. Whether you visit for its historical and cultural significance, to appreciate its architectural splendor, or simply to soak in the tranquil ambience of Gendarmenmarkt, the Französischer Dom offers a memorable experience. It serves as a reminder of Berlin's diverse heritage and stands as a testament to the city's appreciation for art, history, and religious tolerance.

There are two activities in the French Cathedral (three if you count eating at the deftly named Hugo & Notte cafe). One can visit the museum to learn about Huguenotes and the church, and there is a separate ticket to go up about 280 stairs to the observation platform. The walk up to the platform is quite comfortable because it is a modern staircase with a plenty of space to rest. I'd say it is not for the people with a fear of heights, not just because, obviously, the observation platform, but also because the stairs open to the empty space inside a tall tower as you climb. It is a beautiful tower. On the platform, there are plaques showing which landmark you can see in the respective direction. The platform is fairly wide and has benches to rest on, and the cafe in fact offers picnic baskets to take upstairs. The views are phenomenal. Note that the museum ticket is separate from the observation platform.

A beautiful piece of architecture. This church is located next to Gengarmenmarkt. The reception is free to visit but it costs 6,5 euros to get up to the dome. I think it's worth it because you get a panoramic view over the city and it is not packed with tourists.

The French Church is one of three fine buildings on Gendarmenmarkt. While the dome is not technically part of the church, it's often treated as such and I had the pleasure of both seeing the dome from Gendarmenmarkt and visiting the church for an organ concert. The dome is a very beautiful Neoclassical in the shape of a monopteros containing sculptures of classical figures and topped with a figure of I think the personification of peace holding an olive branch. A fine dome.

An eye-catching cathedrals you can see in Europe, specially its outside view. We went to Berlin in christmas holidays and unfortunately it was closed therefore we couldn't visit its inside. During the christmas holidays the set up an outdoor marketplace for foods, drinks, clothes and etc. which was really amazing. I think it is worth to visit this cathedral and its neighborhood while you are in Berlin.

This is a review of the viewing platform of the church, rather than the Huguenot Museum within the church. We visited on a cold February lunchtime and had the place to ourselves. The climb is quite easy as the stairs are wide and open so there is no feeling of being cramped. The architecture inside is as beautiful as the outside appearance and the whole building exudes elegance without extravagance. As you climb there are information boards and then eventually you reach the door to walk around the outside of the tower. As you'd expect, the views were great and it was a lovely way to spend a lunch break.

Gestern gab es ein Candlelight Concert im Dom, den Eingang zu finden war durch die Baustelle etwas schwierig, der Einlass hat gut geklappt, obwohl es ziemlich voll war. Leider war im Hintergrund störendes helles Licht an, wieder aus und wieder an....., was die Atmosphäre gestört hat. Das Konzert mit Filmmusik von Hans Zimmer war ganz ok, ein bischen zu wenig Musik 1h nur und viel Moderation dazwischen und es hätten mehr populäre Stücke sein können.

An interesting piece of architecture. Currently it is undergoing construction and is surrounded by a fence, however there is a pop up viewing platform next to it that allows a good view of it.

amazing move to keep less plastic. Never seen anything like this with any trashbags. I hope this happens everywhere as well.

This is the French Cathedral and museum. The middle part is under construction. It has nice museum depicting the french contribution.

Auch wenn im Moment durch eine Baustelle auf dem Gendarmenmarkt der Zugang zum Französischen Dom etwas kompliziert zu sein scheint - über die Charlottenstraße geht's problemlos -, so lohnt doch ein Besuch im Französischen Dom: der Ausblick von der Plattform, der Blick auf das Carillon (Glockenspiel), der Besuch im HugenottenMuseum. Am besten Kombiticket kaufen für Aussichtsplattform und Museum.

Heute vielleicht ein bisschen grau, aber trotzdem spektakulär im besten Sinne. Also: Einmal tief Luft holen und hoch zur Aussichtsplattform (und dem Glockenspiel…)!

The French (Reformed) Church of Friedrichstadt (French: Temple de la Friedrichstadt, German: Französische Friedrichstadtkirche, and commonly known as Französischer Dom, meaning "French Cathedral") is located in Berlin at the Gendarmenmarkt, across the Konzerthaus and the German Cathedral. The earliest parts of the church date back to 1701, although it was subsequently expanded. After being heavily damaged during World War II, the church was rebuilt and continues to offer church services and concerts.

Beautiful place. The French Dom was erected by French Protestants (Huguenots) fleeing France in the 17th and 18th century. Inside it is not so special, rather beautiful from outside.

This is actually very close to the Konzerthaus Berlin, and there is another domes building right across. These are the main venue for concerts in Berlin we did not get to see it from the inside because it was closed when we got there, but you can still appreciate the beautiful architecture of these buildings.

A nice and restful spot on a busy day. The church is fairly small but given its location, it's absolutely worth a detour.

Französischer Dom is one of two similar churches at Gendarmenmarkt along with Deutscher Dom. It is located at the northern end of the square and is an attractive building to see in Berlin. This church was built by Louis Cayart and Abraham Quesney (1701-1705) and was modelled after Huguenot church in Charenton, France. The tower and dome was added between 1780-85 by Carl von Gontard, who also built the Deutscher Dom at the same time, hence their identical appearance. When visiting Gendarmenmarkt, one can't help but notice the general symmetry between Französischer Dom and Deutscher Dom. However, they are not twin churches and have noticeable differences in the facade and portico area of the church front if you look at both buildings closely. Französischer Dom was heavily damaged during WWII and not rebuilt until 1977 to 1981. Today, its no longer used for religious purposes. There is a small Huguenot Museum, assembly hall and archives within. Note: During the annual Christmas Market at Gendarmenmarkt, we found Französischer Dom lit up at night time and quite attractive to see.

Extremely beautiful building and environment around it!

It's probably a bit odd to consider a landmark with almost a thousand reviews a hidden gem, but the viewing platform really does feel like an insider's tip for all visitors to the city. Or maybe I'm just saying that because it was my own first view of Berlin from above. Either way, if you're an acquaintance of mine and I catch wind of your visit to this corner of the world, I'm probably taking you here. You're welcome.

The church is closed, but the entrance to the viewing platform is still the same, as the full visit - 6,50 - way to much for what you get. Can't see much because of the safety net.

Absolutely stunning views, also surprised to learn how tightly knit some of the oldest landmarks are with the newest

Excelent Experience and Amazing Show and Great Professional Performance 🫶

Mein Mann und ich, die wir beide sowohl Queen als auch Abba sehr mögen waren sehr begeistert. Dank des tollen Streichquartetts wurde es ein ganz besonderer Abend.l!!! Das Ambiente im französischen Dom mit den Kerzen war einfach wunderschön. Vielen Dank für diesen besonderen Abend

Wunderbares Highlight, tolle Atmosphäre, herrliche Musik, Kompliment an die Musiker. Was nicht so gut war, die Stühle leider sehr unbequem und der Bewegungsmelder der ständig an/aus ging das trübte etwas den Genuss.

Really excellent place to visit - fascinating building and great views.

Good introduction of the Freud refugees to Germany 300 years ago. Highly recommend if you are also interested in Christianity history.

Beautiful view, fun audioguide and staff, good value

WOW. Beautiful. Acoustics for concerts phenomenal.

Beautiful building

Having a walk on Berlin's streets, there is remarkable architecture everywhere. French Cathedral is one of the buildings you can enjoy.

Awesome places with magnificent French Cathedral and historical buildings. Great place to hangout and eat market foods under 🌞 sun. Must see for tourist..

Good location with good view

Beautiful architecture of the church. It's on the way from Berlin's Cathedral and Museum Island so it's definitely worth to stop by for few minutes.

(Translated by Google) This imposing building is located directly opposite the German Cathedral and next to the French Church. The Gendarmenmarkt extends in front of it. The cathedral was burned out in the Second World War and was renovated until the early 80s. In the immediate vicinity there are a number of sights that should be in the tourist interest. (Original) Direkt gegenüber des Deutschen Doms und neben der Französischen Kirche befindet sich dieses imposante Bauwerk. Davor erstreckt sich der Gendarmenmarkt. Der Dom war im 2.

(Translated by Google) The Französischer Dom (French cathedral) is not a cathedral in the strict sense, although the large dome, added to the church in 1785, almost a century after its construction, suggests a place of worship, which was in fact its original function . Initially called Französische Friedrichstadtkirche (French church in Friedrichstadt), the building was erected in 1672 by the Huguenots, members of the Reformed Churches of France and also known as "French Protestants". After suffering persecution and having been formally expelled from France with the edict of Fontainebleau of 1685, 6000 Huguenots had in fact obtained permission from the Elector Prince of Brandenburg Frederick III (since 1701 Frederick I in Prussia) to settle in Berlin; right that was formally enshrined in the edict of Potsdam. Here they had created a vital community, preserving the use of the French language in religious services. This use was abandoned in favor of the German in 1806, as a protest against Napoleon's invasion of Prussia. (Original) Il Französischer Dom (cattedrale francese) non è una cattedrale in senso stretto, sebbene la grande cupola, aggiunta alla chiesa nel 1785, quasi un secolo dopo la sua costruzione, faccia pensare proprio a un luogo di culto, quale era infatti la sua funzione originaria. Chiamato inizialmente Französische Friedrichstadtkirche (chiesa francese di Friedrichstadt), l’edifico fu eretto nel 1672 dagli ugonotti, membri delle Chiese Riformate di Francia e noti anche come “protestanti francesi”. Dopo avere subito persecuzioni ed essere stati formalmente espulsi dalla Francia con l’editto di Fontainebleau del 1685, 6000 ugonotti avevano infatti ottenuto dal Principe elettore di Brandeburgo Federico III (dal 1701 Federico I in Prussia) il permesso di stabilirsi a Berlino; diritto che fu formalmente sancito dall’editto di Potsdam. Qui avevano creato una vitale comunità, conservando l’uso della lingua francese nelle funzioni religiose. Tale uso fu abbandonato a favore del tedesco nel 1806, come protesta contro l’invasione della Prussia da parte di Napoleone.

(Translated by Google) Originally it was the church of the Huguenots (French Protestants) expelled from France, who celebrated divine worship here as the French language (until 1806 when they adopted German in protest against the Napoleonic invasion); also in this case, as for the Deutscher Dom, religious functions are no longer officiated (Original) In origine fu la chiesa degli ugonotti (protestanti francesi) espulsi dalla Francia, che qui celebravano il culto divino il lingua francese (fino al 1806 quando adottarono il tedesco per protesta contro l'invasione napoleonica); anche in questo caso, come per il Deutscher Dom, non vengono più officiate funzioni religiose

(Translated by Google) I had hoped for more of the location as a concert venue. This is probably due to the magnificent exterior of the cathedral. The room was much smaller than expected, but much of the sound was swallowed up. The seating is a disaster: chairs uncomfortable and not offset. As a result, we could unfortunately hardly see anything from the 4th row on the side. Disappointing! Room temperature for a concert very pleasant, we had set ourselves to "church cold". The lighting is very bright (not in a good sense) and was rather uncomfortable even during the classical concert. On a Friday evening we were able to park directly on the sidewalk in front of the building for the regular parking ticket. It was unexpected and straightforward. (Original) Ich hatte mir von der Örtlichkeit als Konzert Lokalität mehr erhofft. Das liegt vermutlich an dem prachtvollen Außen des Doms. Der Raum war viel kleiner als erwartet, dennoch wurde viel der Klänge verschluckt. Die Bestuhlung ist eine Katastrophe: Stühle unbequem und nicht versetzt gestellt. Das führte dazu, dass wir aus der 4. Reihe seitlich leider fast gar nichts sehen konnten. Enttäuschend! Raum Temperatur für ein Konzert sehr angenehm, wir hatten uns auf "kirchenkalt" eingestellt. Die Beleuchtung ist sehr hell (nicht im guten Sinne) und war auch während des besuchten Klassik Konzerts eher ungemütlich. An einem Freitagabend konnten wir direkt am Gehsteig vor dem Gebäude zum regulären parkticket parken. Das war unerwartet und unkompliziert.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful historical sights of Berlin is the French Cathedral, located at Gendarmenmarkt. Its majesty and beauty attract many visitors to the German capital. The history of the creation of this architectural monument is quite interesting and unusual. The beginning of the existence of the French Cathedral The name "French" Cathedral received, as it was originally conceived as a church for Huguenots - refugees from France. Their number at the beginning of the 18th century was about a quarter of all inhabitants of Berlin. The building cannot be truly called a cathedral, since during its entire existence there was no episcopal see in it. The design and construction of the church was undertaken by two famous architects at that time: Abraham Kesney and Louis Caillard. The once destroyed Huguenot temple in Charenton-Saint-Maurice in France was chosen as the prototype of the architectural ensemble for the construction of the French Cathedral. The construction lasted for five years, from 1701 to 1705. Another name for the French Cathedral is the Friedrichstadt Church. This name was given to the Huguenot Church for a simple reason: previously, the territory on which it is located belonged to a separate city - Friedrichstadt. But later, in 1709, Frederick I decided that the town would henceforth be part of Berlin. Transfigurations of the French Cathedral In 1785, the authorities decided that the French Cathedral should be called a church. That is why the German architects Karl von Gontard and Georg Christian Unger were commissioned to build a dome with a tower. After that, the building began to resemble the Gendarmenmarkt, located on the same square, the German Cathedral, giving the space some symmetry. A significant difference from the building of the German Cathedral is that in this building the tower and the church are not a single whole, there is not even a passage between them. The second decade of the 19th century was marked by the joining of the community of the French Church to the single Evangelical Church of all Prussia. Calvinists, Reformists, and Lutherans could either adopt a common name or retain their previous name. The parishioners of the French community decided to keep their Calvinist identity. But the traditions of the Lutheran congregation nevertheless gradually penetrated into Calvinism. Therefore, in 1817, an organ of excellent quality appeared in the cathedral, in addition to the traditional psalms, religious hymns were also performed. It is worth noting that, in addition to many well-known organ musicians, the famous Thomas Hawks played the instrument. In 1905, the interior of the French Cathedral changed somewhat: some decorative additions were introduced to its asceticism and severity, which made the church more beautiful from the inside. Otto March worked on this transformation, he managed to organically combine decorativeness in the interior of the building with a style that excludes the presence of icons. Post-war revival of the building The Second World War did not spare many buildings and structures in Berlin. The French Cathedral also suffered from the bombing and shelling. The building suffered significant damage. But the restoration and restoration of the church on the Gendarmenmarkt waited only in the 80s of the XX century. From 1977 to 1988, restoration work was going on, and now the French Cathedral has gained its original appearance, shone with new colors and pleases both parishioners and tourists with its splendor. From 2004 to 2006, the facade of the cathedral was reconstructed. The authorities spent about 6 million EUR on this. Of the sixty bells, eighteen have been replaced or repaired. In August 2006, the French Cathedral was reopened to visitors. Currently, the French Cathedral is not only the venue for the cathedrals of the Evangelical Church throughout Germany, but also one of the most significant sites related to architectural monuments. An observation deck is open for tourists in the tower with a dome that was once built by Gontard and Unger. From here you can view the historic center of Berlin in all its glory. (Original) Одной из красивейших исторических достопримечательностей Берлина является Французский собор, расположенный на площади Жандарменмаркт. Его величественность и красота привлекают множество гостей германской столицы. История создания этого памятника архитектуры довольно интересна и необычна. Начало существования Французского собора Название «Французский» собор получил, так как был изначально задуман как церковь для гугенотов – беженцев из Франции. Их численность в начале XVIII века составляла примерно четверть от всех жителей Берлина. По-настоящему собором здание назвать нельзя, так как за все время существования в нем не было епископской кафедры. За проектирование и строительство церкви взялись два известных в то время архитектора: Авраам Кесней и Луи Кайар. Прототипом архитектурного ансамбля при постройке Французского собора был выбран некогда разрушенный храм гугенотов в Шарантоне-Сен-Морисе во Франции. Возведение продолжалось в течение пяти лет, с 1701 по 1705 годы. Другое название Французского собора – церковь Фридрихштадта. Это название было дано церкви гугенотов по простой причине: ранее территория, на которой она расположена, принадлежала отдельному городу – Фридрихштадту. Но впоследствии, в 1709 году Фридрих I постановил, что городок отныне будет являться частью Берлина. Преображения Французского собора В 1785 году власти решили, что Французскому собору необходимо называться церковью. Именно поэтому немецким архитекторам Карлу фон Гонтарду и Георгу Кристиану Унгеру было поручено соорудить купол с башней. После этого здание стало напоминать, расположенный на этой же площади — Жандарменмаркт, Немецкий собор, придавая пространству некоторую симметричность. Значительное отличие от здания Немецкого собора в том, что в этом здании башня и церковь не являются единым целым, между ними даже нет прохода. Второе десятилетие XIX века ознаменовалось присоединением общины Французской церкви к единой Евангелистской церкви всей Пруссии. Кальвинисты, реформисты и лютеране могли при этом принять общее название либо оставить свое предыдущее наименование. Прихожане Французской общины решили сохранить свою принадлежность к кальвинистам. Но традиции лютеранской конгрегации все же понемногу проникли в кальвинизм. Поэтому в соборе, в 1817 году, появился орган великолепного качества, кроме традиционных псалмов, стали исполняться и религиозные гимны. Стоит отметить, что кроме множества известных музыкантов-органистов на инструменте играл знаменитый Томас Хоукс. В 1905 году интерьер Французского собора несколько изменился: в его аскетизм и строгость были привнесены некоторые декоративные дополнения, что сделало церковь более красивой изнутри. Над этим преображением работал Отто Марч, ему удалось органично совместить декоративность в интерьере здания со стилем, исключающем присутствие икон. Послевоенное возрождение здания Вторая мировая война не пощадила многие здания и сооружения в Берлине. От бомбежек и обстрелов пострадал и Французский собор. Зданию был нанесен значительный урон. Но восстановления и реставрации церковь на Жандарменмаркт дождалась только в 80-х годах XX столетия. С 1977 по 1988 год шли восстановительные работы, и теперь Французский собор обрел свой первоначальный облик, засиял новыми красками и радует и прихожан, и туристов своим великолепием. С 2004 по 2006 год фасад собора был реконструирован. На это власти потратили около 6 млн. EUR. Из шестидесяти колоколов было заменено или отремонтировано восемнадцать. В августе 2006 года Французский собор снова был открыт для посетителей. В настоящее время Французский собор – не только место проведения соборов Евангелистской церкви всей Германии, но и один из значимых объектов, относящихся к памятникам архитектуры. В построенной когда-то Гонтардом и Унгером башне с куполом для туристов открыта смотровая площадка. С нее можно рассмотреть исторический центр Берлина во всей своей красе.

One of two churches near by. Great architecture

Beautiful views and a beautiful interior!

Worth the visit and the climb upstairs, beware when the clocks are going! Beautiful tower and views from above!

Great viewpoint , worth the visit

The French Cathedral, Market squire, Berlin is a beautiful place. Gives a good view of the city

The French Cathedral is a monument on the Gendarmenmarkt, I only admired her from the outside

Enjoyed this one a lot. Looks stunning from the outside and opens exciting views from the top.

Very beautiful view. Highly recommend. Perfect place to get a view and amazing photos of the Berlin skyline.

The church is open only in Sunday and you can only see the viewer area at the top which is also no that impressive. Overall my experience is bad and would not recommend others.

Nice plaza with the Französischer and Deutscher Dom that do look almost identical. The exibitions in both are really interesting.

Beautiful view of the city, totally worth the climb up the tower. Not a lot of people visit here so you can get tickets at the counter

I mean, it's two symmetrical churches and a square between them. I guess it's pretty and famous. Nothing too special honestly.

Only visited from the outside. Wonderful sights with the colors of the leaves.

Very beautiful dom with awesomely beautiful and arranged trees in the square in front

Great monstrous building, has observation tower, restaurant and nice area with trees around.

The view is beautifull, the only thing that might improve is a set of binoculars.

Beautiful structure. Amazing view of the city

I really liked the view on Berlin and the tags with the name of the monuments you can see from the dom.

Wunderbarer 360° Rundumblick von der Galerie des französischen Doms. Die Baustelle am deutschen Dom trübt das Erkebnis nicht - ist ja irgendwann auch vorbei. Auch der Aufstieg zur Plattform ist zwar leicht anstrengend, aber wegen der Backsteinarchitektur sehr schön. Die Carillon-Glockengalerie ist toll. Sowas sieht man auch nicht alle Tage.

It will be amazing when the constructions are over, but if you overlook that the skyline of Berlin is beautiful and worth the climb!

Great view on Berlin Mitte, well worth climbing the spiral staircase inside
