Church of the Redeemer

The Church of the Redeemer stands on the northern banks of lake Jungfernsee with a campanile and Romanesque Revival architectural elements.

King Frederick William IV of Prussia initiated the construction in 1841, replacing an old wooden church from 1661 with this stone edifice completed in 1844.

The interior contains Byzantine-style frescoes created by Adolph Eybel in 1845 and features timbered vaulted ceilings decorated with painted stars.

The church remains open for religious services and can be reached through established transportation routes connecting Potsdam to the Sacrow district.

The campanile housed equipment for early wireless communication experiments during the late 19th century, adding technological significance to its religious function.
