Friedenskirche, Modern church in Potsdam, Germany

The Friedenskirche features a columned basilica layout with three naves and high central nave rising above the side passageways.

King Frederick William IV commissioned the construction of this church between 1845 and 1854, incorporating design elements from the Basilica di San Clemente in Rome.

The church displays a 13th-century Venetian mosaic in the apse, showing Christ holding the Book of Life alongside religious figures.

Located at Am Grünen Gitter 3 in Potsdam, the church stands within the Sanssouci Park grounds near the Marly Gardens.

The altar structure rests upon four columns crafted from Siberian jasper, presented as a gift by Russian Tsar Nicholas I in 1842.
