Französischer Dom (French Cathedral)

Französischer Dom (French Cathedral)

The Französischer Dom is located on one of the most beautiful squares in Germany, the Gendarmenmarkt. Due to its central location in Berlin-Mitte, it is excellently connected to the public transport system. The Französische Dom offers various rooms for events, which can be combined with the rooms of the Französische Friedrichstadtkirche. On its own platform, you can look over the roofs of Berlin. Inside the cathedral is the Huguenot Museum.
