The largest Protestant church in Germany, is located within the Museum Island. The cathedral was built in the era of Kaiser Wilhelm II and was conceived as a German analogue of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. The building simply dazzles with its solemn and majestic architecture. It feels like it was built by giants. The observation deck of the temple offers a magnificent panoramic view of Berlin.

Another beautifully architured Cathedral. So much history . And if you are fit enough, you could climb the dome and get a view from up there. A very solemn place of meditation and you be able so see many crypts within the dome itself. 👍👍👍
